f>2 BOTANY FOR BEGINNERS. LCh. IX The poet Burns, in describing such a scene, says: " this is my best season for devotion: my mind is wrapt up in a kind ot enthusiasm to Him who, in the pompous language of the He- brew bard, ' walks on the wings of the wind.'" 201. Lyrale, differs from pinnatifid in having its terminating segment broader and more circular. See Fig. 30, c. 202. Pinnatifid, may be seen at Fig. 30, d; leaves of this form are sometimes finely divided, like the teeth of a comb) they are then said to be pectinate. 203. Palmate, or hand shaped, (Fig. 31, aj) one species of the Passion-flower affords a good example of this kind of leaf. The oblong segments like fingers, arise from a space near the petiole, which may be considered as resembling the palm of the hand. 204. Digitate, or fingered leaf, (Fig. 31, b,) differs from the palmate leaf in having no space resembling the palm of a hand; but several distinct leafets arise immediately from the petiole, as may be seen in the Horse-Chestnut. 205. Connate, (Fig. 31, c ;) the bases of opposite leaves are united so as to appear one entire leaf. Fig. 31.
