way; parted, about three fourths of the way ; and divided, 
that the notches are nearly deep enough to make a com- 
pound leaf of separate leaflets. 
So leaves may be palmately lobed, cleft, parted or di- 
vided, and pinnately lobed, cleft, parted or divided. The 
term pinnatifid is often applied to pinnately 
cleft leaves. The “ARR? terms entire, serrate, crenate, 
acute-pointed, etc., are applied to the lobes as well as to 
the general margins of leaves. 
SurFace.—The following terms are needed in describ- 
ing the surface of leaves and fruit. 
Glabrous, smooth; glaucous, covered with a whitish 
bloom which can be rubbed off (Plum); rugous, wrin- 
kled ; canescent, so covered with minute hairs as to appear 
silvery; pubescent, covered with fine, soft, plainly seen 
hairs; tomentose, densely covered with matted hairs; 
hairy, having longer hairs; scabrous, covered with stiff, 
~seratching points; spiny, having stiff, sharp spines; glan- 
dular-hairy, having the hairs ending in glands (usually 
needing a magnifying glass to be seen). 
TEXTURE.— Succulent, fleshy ; scarious, dry and chaffy ; 
punctate, having translucent glands, so that the leaf ap- 
pears, when held toward the light, as though full of 
holes; membranous, thin, soft, and rather translucent; 
thick, thin, ete. 
Duration.— Evergreen, hanging on the tree from year 
to year. By noticing the color of the different leaves 
avd their position on the twigs, all evergreen foliage 
can readily be determined at any time during the year. 
Deciduous, falling off at the end of the season. Fuga- 
cious, falling early, as the stipules of many leaves.
