ILLUSTRATED GLOSSARY— Continued. 



Circinate, curved into a circle, resembling 

 fig. 2, but still more incurved so that the apex 

 is nearly or quite bent around to the leaf base; 

 e. g. leaves of Hypnum uticinalum. 



Cirrate or cirrhate s applied to leaves which 

 curl up in drying. Cirrate leaves are more reg- 

 ularly curled than crispate leaves. 

 5 Cirrhose, having a wavy hair point.

 spoon or ladle.

 Costate, having a costa. 



Crispate or crisped, frizzled, curled and 

 twisted in various ways. (Fig. 5). 



Cucullate, hood-shaped, the apex curved in 

 like a slipper. (Apex of leaf in fig. 6). 



Cultriform, curved like a short, wide scimi- 

 tar; e. g. the leaves of Homalia trichomanoides 

 Jamesii. 



Cymbiform, boat-shaped (used by Dixon as a 

 synonym of cucullate) ; e. g. leaves of Sphagnum 

 cymbifolium. (The whole leaf in fig. 6.) 



Dorsal, belonging to or on the back; z. e., the 

 face of a leaf remote from the stem. 



Ecostate, lacking a costa. 



Excurrent costa, a costa running out beyond the 

 lamina of a leaf. (Fig. 7.) 



Excavate (leaf-insertion), hollowed out in a 

 curve. 



Falcate, curved like a sickle. (Fig. 2.) 



Flexuose, bent backwards and forwards or waved. 



Hamate, or hamulose, curved like a hook ; more 

 sharply and abruptly curved than in falcate and 

 circinnate.
