Size. 



In making an attempt to classify juvenile leaves according to size, the only 

 terms that appear to be convenient are very small, small, medium, large, very large. 

 Juvenile leaves are, in their earliest and opposite-leaved stage (those of every species 

 have not been collected or recorded), usually as broad as long, i.e., tending to the 

 orbicular. Many of them have already been figured, and, in examining the plates, it 

 is to be noted that they have usually been drawn from dried and therefore shrunken 

 specimens. This secures uniformity; at the same time, and also from further informa- 

 tion, I have ascertained that frequently the juvenile leaves are, when fresh, sometimes 

 rather larger than drawn. I repeat that the sizes given are approximations. 



As a suggestion, I give the average diameters in cm. as follows :— 



Very small, under 4. Large, 11-20. 



Small, 5-6. Very large, 21 and over. 



Medium, 7-10. 



It is obvious that, giving only one dimension can only, in strictness, apply to such 

 leaves as approach the orbicular. With all their defects, my suggestions as to relative 

 sizes may have some use. 



Very small, under 4 era.
