44 MORPHOLOGICAL BOTANY. 



Some multifoliolate compound leaves have their leaflets 

 arranged laterally on a common petiole, as in the Fuji (Fig. 

 48) and Yendo, while others have their leaflets arranged on 

 the top of a common petiole, as in the Akebi (Fig. 49) and 

 Tochinoki (Aesculus turbi/nata). 



Those of the former kind are called Pinnately Compound 

 Leaves and those of the latter Palmately Compound.

B. MODIFIED LEAVES. 



Modified Leaves are those, which are either changed to 

 perform some particular functions, or only retrograded 

 from normal ones. 



Some of the modified leaves are related either directly or 

 indirectly to the nutrition of the plant to which they 

 belong, as the insect-catching leaves of the Mosengoke 

 (Drosera rotundifolia) (Fig. 50) or the spines of the Megi 

 ■(Fig. 40) ; while others are related either directly or in- 

 directly to reproduction, as the fruit-bearing leaves of the 

 Nokishinobu (Polypodium lineare) (Fig. 51) or the floral 

 leaves of the Sakura (Fig. 55). Those of the former kind 

 are said to be Nutritive or Vegetative, and those of the latter 

 Reproductive.
