-170 VARIETIES. 



In respect to Composition, digitate leaves will frequently gain 

 an addition of one or more folioles*. 



Crisp, curled leaves are a very frequent variety. In Tana- 

 cetum,... Mentha,... Ocymum,... and Matricaria, which are 

 scented plants, there is this singularity observable, that when 

 the leaves are curled, the scent is heightened by the crispaturef. 



Bullate, bladdery leaves are generally produced from such as 

 are Rugose, wrinkled ; and this is owing to the increase of the 

 substance of the leaf within its vessels, which occasions it to 

 swell and rise. In the Saponaria Concava Anglicana, a bul- 

 late leaf is produced in a singular manner from the defect of 

 wrinkles ; for here the margin of the leaf contracting itself, the 

 leaves become hollow, like a spoon£. 



Plants are sometimes found to vary from broad-leaved to nar- 

 row-leaved; but this variation is less frequent§.
