118 K. H. CAMBAGE. 



Hypocotyl erect, terete, pale coloured, 2*2 to 3*6 cm. 

 long, 2 mm. thick at base, 1*5 mm. at apex, glabrous. 



Cotyledons ovate, petiolate, auricled, at first erect, 

 becoming horizontal in a few days and often remaining on 

 plant for two to three months, up to 1*2 cm. long, 7 mm. 

 to 1 cm. broad, fleshy, outer or underside at first pale yellow, 

 becoming yellowish-green, upperside light green, glabrous; 

 petiole 2 to 2*5 mm. long. 



Stem terete, green, glabrous. First internode 1 to 5 mm.; 

 second 8 mm. to 1*8 cm.; third 6 mm. to 1*4 cm.; fourth 

 7 mm. to 1*8 cm. 



Leaves — Nos. 1 and 2. Abruptly pinnate, forming an 

 opposite pair, petiole slender, from about 6 mm. to 1 cm. 

 long, yellowish-green, glabrous; leaflets five pairs, narrow- 

 oblong to obovate-oblong, shortly acuminate or obtuse, 3 

 to 7 mm. long, 1*5 to 2 mm. broad, oblique midrib fairly 

 distinct, upperside light green, underside paler; rachis up 

 to 2 cm. long, slender, glabrous ; stipules 1*5 mm. long. 



Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6. Abruptly bipinnate, petiole slender, 

 from about 6 mm. to 1*5 cm. long, pale green, often chan- 

 nelled above, glabrous, excurrent: leaflets five to seven 

 pairs, similar to those of Nos. 1 and 2 ; rachis slender, up 

 to 2*5 cm. long, excurrent; stipules converted into tender 

 spines up to 4 mm. long. 



In all the above descriptions the measurements quoted 

 of the various parts of the seedlings are either the average 

 lengths or the extremes so far met with, but in some cases 

 the variation is so considerable that it seems likely further 

 investigation may show that the greatest extremes of 

 length have not yet been recorded.
