Stipules, as already exi:>lained (120), are a pair of appendages at the base of the leaf, one on each side. These often grow fast to the base of the leafstalk, as they do in the Rose and in Clover (Fig. 13G ; sf, the stipules). Or they may join with each other and form a kind of sheath round the stem, as they do in the Button wood and in Polygonum (Fig. 1

Or they may join with each other and form a kind of sheath round the stem, as they do in the Button wood and in Polygonum (Fig. 137). Many leaves have no stipules at all. In many cases they fall off very early, especially those that serve for bud-scales, as in Magnolia. 153. The Arrangement of Leaves on the stem has already been explained as to the two principal ways (59). Leaves are either Alternate, when they follow each other one by one, as in the Morning-Glory (Fig. 4) and the Linden (Fig. 83); or Opposite, when in pairs, that is, two on each joint of stem, one opposite the other, as in Maples (Fig. 84). To these may be added a third, but less common arrangement, viz. the }Vhorled ; where there are three, four, or more leaves on the same joint of stem, forming.
