in three ; as in the leaf of Teucrium Chamaepitys ; and so on. 
When the segments are very numerous, multijidus is used. 
7. Parted (^partitus) ; divided into a determinate number of 
segments, which extend nearly to the base of the part to 
which they belong. We say bipartitus^ parted in two; tri~ 
partituSi in three ; and so on. 
8. Palmate (^palmatus) ; having five lobes, the midribs of which 
meet in a common point, so that the whole bears some re- 
semblance to a human hand; as the leaf of Passiflora 
caerulea. 
9. Pedate (^pedatus)\ the same as palmate, except that the two 
lateral lobes are themselves divided into smaller segments, 
the midribs of which do not directly run into the same point 
as the rest ; as the leaf of Arum Dracunculus, Helleborus 
niger, &c. 
10. Fingered {digitatus) ; the same as palmate, but the segments 
less spreading, and narrower. 
11. Pinnatifid (^pinnatiJiduSi pennatipartitus, piri7iatiscissus) ; di- 
vided almost to the axis into lateral segments, something in 
the way of the side divisions of a feather; as Polypodium 
vulgare. M. De Candolle distinguishes several modifications 
of pinnatifidus: — 1. Pinnatijidus^ when the lobes are divided
