40 PRINCIPLES OF BOTANY, &Cc. 
there is a leat at each side, as in the Mimosa terge- 
mind, fig, 234. | 
92. Ternate, (fernaium), when three teaves are 
supported by one footstalk: as in the clover, Tri- 
jolium pratense, strawberry, Fragaria vesea. 
(93. Biternate, (biternatum, s. duplicato-ternatum), 
when a footstalk which separates into three at each - 
point bears three leaves. | 
94, Triternate, Criternatum s. triplicato-ternatum), 
when a footstalk which separates into three is again 
divided at each point imto three, and on each of 
these nine points bears three leaves, fig. 207. 
95. Quinate, (quinatum), when five leaves are 
supported by one footstalk: this, it is true, has 
some affinity with No. 88, but varies on account of 
the number five, as in the other there are generally 
inore leaves. pea 
96. Pedate, (pedatum s. ramosum), when a leat- 
stalk is divided, and in the middle where it divides 
there is a leafet, at both ends there is likewise a 
leafet, and on each side between the one in the 
middle and that on the end, another, or two or even 
three leaves. Such a leaf, therefore, consists of 5, 
7, or 9 leafets that are all inserted on one side, as 
in the Helleborus viridis, fetidus and niger, fic, 246 : 
97. Pinnated, (pinnatum), where on an undivided 
leaf-stalk there is a series of leafets on each side and 
on the same plane. Of this there are the follow 
ing kinds. Sgt | | 
a. Abruptly pinnate, (pari-pinnatum s. abrupte- 
pinnatum), when at the apex of a pinnated 
leaf there is no leafet, fig. 30.
