6. ‘Two, three, many-branched. (bi, tri, multifidus), 
when a cirrhus branches out into two, three, or 
more parts. 
7. Convolute, (convolutus), when the cirrhus re- 
-gularly winds itself reund a prop. 
8. Revolute, (revolutus), when the cirrhus nands 
itself irregularly, sometimes to this side, sometimes 
to that*,

The pup, (gemma), is that part of a plant which 
contains the embryo of the leaves and flowers. All 
plants are not furnished with buds, but only such as 
erow in cold climates. ‘They either inclose leaves 
alone, (foliifere); or leaves and flowers in separate 
buds, (foliifere et florifere distinct) ; or leaves and 
female flowers, (folufere et florifere feminee) ; 
Jeaves and male flowers, (foliifere et florifere mas- 
cule); or leaves and hermaphrodite flowers, ( folii- 
fere et florifere bermaphrodita) ; or lastly, leaves and 
lowers in one bud, ( foliifero-florifere). The open- 
mg of the buds, and the appearance of the leaves, is 
called Foliation, (/foliatio). This is occasioned by 
the fall of the outer covers, which consist of small 
imbricated scales. In plants that have no buds, the 
foliation takes place immediately from the bark. “In 
different plants at foliation, the young leavés are va- 
* When a simple leaf has a cirrhus at its apex, it is called 
folium cirrhosum, asin Gloriosa superba, Flagellaria zsdica, &c. 
When a pinnated leaf has a cirrhus at its apex, as in most le- 
guminous plants, it is called folium pinnatum cirrbosum, No. 34
