The general vernation is loosely distinguished in descriptive botany as valvate (edges meeting), and imbricate (edges overlapping), terms to be noticed hereafter. The val- vate more often occurs in plants with opposite leaves, imbricated vernation is Equitant (riding astraddle), when conduplicate leaves alteriiutely embrace—^the outer oiu' the nc^ct inner, by 52. Veraation of Sy. its unfolded margins, as in the privet and iris. camore bnd. Obvolute, or half-equitant, when the outer leaf, embraces only one of the margins of the inner, as in the sage. 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 84, Showing the process of ";.
