ation, provided the leaf underconsideration is not compound. We may conveniently arrange them in the following table: TABLE OF SIMPLE FEATHEB VEINED LEAF-FORMS A single principal vein traverses the main axis of the leaf The tissues intervening between the veinlets fully or mainly developed .... Feather Veined Forms. Pinnate-VeinedThe middle veinlot exceeds the others in length, the veinlets above and below becoming gradually shorter. The breadth of the widest i)art is: About equal to the length of the leaf (Fig. 1) . Orhicular About I to I the length (Fig. 2) Oval About i the length (Fig. 3) FUiptic About i to J the length (Fig. 4) Oblong The veinlets of the lower third exceed the otlier siile veinlets,which become gradually shorter above and below.

Heart-shaped (Fig. 12) Cordate The apex sharp, the general shape triangular, the two pos-terior triangular lobes pointing backward, not outward. Arroti:-head-.shaped (Fig. 13) ^Sagittate General form triangular, but the lower part of the leaf sud-denly widening into two lateral triangular lobes.
