Book IV. of Leaves. 147 
eee 
very Body of the Stak; as entirely, as a Kerwel is within an Apple, or 
a Feius inthe WYomb. From whence it comes to pafs that the Bafis of 
every Stalk is extreamly fwelled, as going Great with a Bud. 
g. § UPON THE removal of thofe Parts, which are con- 
trived for the Protetfion 5 the Foulds and Compofture of the Leaves do 
next appear :. all which are moft aptly fuited both to the Nuyber and 
Shape of the Leaves, and alfo their Pofitiox upon the Branck. “In the 
Firft Book (2) [have given Examples of thefe Eight Sorts, {c. the (4) Ch. 4s 
Plain Lap, the Plicature, the Duplicature, the Multiplicature, the Sin- 
gle Roll, the Double Back-Roll, the Donble Fore-Role, and the Treble- Tab, 4.2. 
Roll. Towhich I fhall add Four or Five more. 
io. g. And Firft, in fome Plants, as Ground-Ivy, St. Fohns Wort, 
and divers others, where the Leaves are {mall, pretty numerous, and 
grow by pairs, they have no Fould, but ftand Flat and Tangent, like 
a pair of Batélédores clapt together. 
11. §. They bave the like Poflvre in Baum 5 faving, that here 
the Edges of the Leaves are a little curled backward. Not Rolled, a 
Curl being but the beginning of a Rol, So the feveral Labels of a 
Grounfel-Leaf are all laid in a Back-Curl. 
12. §. The Leaves of fome Plants, as Horehound, White Lamium, 
Nettle, and others, are likewife only Tangent, but are fet with a Fore- 
Curl. And the feveral Labels or Scallops of the Leaf of Common 
Crowfoot, are all Curled Inward. But thofe of Hepatica aurea, are com- 
pofed into Double Fore-Rolls. 
13. §. THE Leaves of Sage, Scabious, Red Lamiuni, Lychinis 
Sylveftris, and others, are neither couched one over another, as in the 
Bow-Lap3 nor plated, as in the Flat Lap 5 but being loofely foulded, of 
every pair of Leaves, the half of one is reciprocally received between, 5 
the two half§ of another, and miay therefore’ be called the Cleep. aoaaae 
A Pofition very well fuited to the Smalnef& of their Number, and the 
Equality of their Size, not fo well agreeing with the Bow-Lap; and 
the fomewhat inward Pofture of the Fibres, not allowing the Flat 
Lap. Sometimes, as in Syringa; where the Leaves are broader, the 
* Cleep is joyned with a Fore-Curle. } 
14. §. THE laft I thall mention, is the Plaite-Rol/, asin the La- 
pathum Alpinum, which fome call Englifh Rhubarb. The Leaves where- 
of are fo very large, and the Fibres fo prominent 5 that befides and 
under the two Back-Rolls, they are alfo Jaid in feveral Platts, and un 
der thofe P/aits, again with leffer ones, all moft exquifitely Tucked up 
between the faid Fibres : So, as neither to bruife the fame, nor yet to 
leave any Vacuity: whereby every Leaf, and the whole Bud, lie clofe 
and round within their Veils.
