Triquetrous, where the bud is triangular in sec- tion, and the leaves equitant at each angle, as in the Carices. 215. The principle of budding. Each leaf-bud may be regarded as a distinct individual, capable of vegetating either in its native position, or when removed to another, as is extensively practiced in the important operation of budding. 216. BuLBLETS. In the tiger-lily, Ciciita bulbifera, and Aspidium bulbiferum, the axillary buds spon- taneously detach themselves, fall to the ground, and become new plants, These remarkable little bodies are called Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Wood, Alphonso, 1810-1881.
