The leaves and roots are the principal organs of nutrition, absorbing from the atmosphere gases and liquids suited for the nutrition of the vegetable : they also act as respirators, and as exhalers of useless matters; and it is in their tissues that the sap, absorbed by the root, and conducted upwards by the stem, parts with its surplus fluids, and acquires all its nutritious properties. Of all plant-organs, the leaves are those which present the greatest variety, and which supply most specific characters. When the vascular bundle which enters the leaf is prolonged for a certain length before branching to form the skeleton of the blade (limbus), it takes the name â of petiole ['petiolus), and the leaf is called peitoZaie (f. petiolatum, Cherry, fig. 6);â when it expands immediately after leaving the node, the leaf is reduced to its blade, and is called sessile (/. sessile, St. John's Wort). When the blade merely narrows so as to form an obscure petiole, it is called sub-petiolate (/. sub-petiolatuni). The petiole may be cylindric [p. cylindricus); longitudinally grooved or channelled.
