(Fig. 18.) They are decumbent when they lop over to the ground. They are ascend- ing when they lie mostly or in part on the ground but stand more or less up- right at their ends. They are climbing when they cling to other rising objects for support. (Fig. 12.) 39. Trees in which the main trunk or the "leader" continues to grow from its tip are said to be excurrent in growth. The branches are borne along the sides of the trunk, as in common pines (Fig. 19) and spruces. Excurrent means "running out" or "running ; 40.
