Maple leaves, forexample, on the ends of the branches are arranged much Fig. 108.—Leaf Arrangement of Horse-Chestnuton Vertical Shgots (side view). 142 FOUNDATIONS OF BOTANY like those of the horse-chestnut, but they are found to bearranged more nearly flatwise along the inner portionsof the branches, that is, the portions nearer the tree.Figs. 109 and 110 show the remarkable difference inarrangement in different branches of the ^Quizi^ andequally interesting modifications may be found inalternate-leaved trees, such as the elm and the cherry.
