GLOSSOLOGY. 
BOOK III. 
40. Fartitioned (loculosuSf j- septatus, \ phragmiger) ; divided by 
internal partitions into cells ; as the pith of the plant that 
produces the Chinese rice-paper. This is never applied to 
fruits. 
41. Anastomosing (anastomozans) ; the ramifications of any thing 
which are united at the points where they come in contact are 
said to anastomose. The term is confined to veins. 
42. Ruminate (ruminatus) ; when a hard body is pierced in 
various directions by narrow cavities filled with dry cellular 
matter ; as the albumen of the nutmeg, and the Anona. 
43. t Cancellate (f cancellatus) ; when the parenchyma is wholly 
absent, and the veins alone remain, anastomosing and form- 
ing a kind of network ; as the leaves of Hydrogeton fenes- 
tralis. 
44. Perforated {jpertusus) ; when irregular spaces are left open in 
the surface of any thing, so that it is pierced with holes ; as 
the leaves of Dracontium pertusum. 
3*. Of Surface. 
A. With respect to marking^ or evenness. 
1. Rugose (rugosus) ; covered with reticulated lines, the spaces 
between which are convex ; as the leaves of sage. 
^. Netted {reticulatus) ; covered with reticulated lines which 
project a little ; as the under surface of the leaves of most 
Melastomas, the seeds of Geranium rotundifolium. 
3. f Half-netted (f 5m2Ve^2cwZ«^ZAs); when, of several layers of 
any thing, the outer one only is reticulated ; as in the roots 
of Gladiolus communis. 
4. Pitted (^scrobiculatus) ; having numerous small shallow de- 
pressions or excavations ; as the seed of Datisca cannabina, 
Passiflora, &c. 
5. Lacunose (lacunosus) ; having numerous large, deep depres- 
sions or excavations. 
6. Honeycombed (favositSy alveolatus) ; excavated in the man- 
ner of a section of honeycomb; as the receptacle of many 
Compositae, the seeds of Papaver.
