The forms of the parallel- veined LEAVES are remarkable for their even, flowing outlines, diversified solely by the direction and curvature of the veins. When the veins are straight the most com- mon form is 275. The linear, long and narrow, with parallel margins, like the leaves of the grasses—a form which may also occur in the pinnate-veined leaf, when the veinlets are all equally shortened. The ensiform, or sword-shaped, is also linear, but has its edges vertical, that is, directed upward and downward. 276. If the veins curve, we may have the lanceolate, elliptical, or even orbicular forms; and if the lower curve,downward) the cordate, sagittate, etc., all of which are shown in the cuts. The palmate or radiate form is finely illustrated in the, palmetto and other palms, whose large, fan-shaped leaves are appropriately termed flabd- li/orm (fan-shaped). 277. The leaves op the pine and the pir tribe (Coniferse) gen- erally are parallel-veined also, and remarkable for their contracted.
