Areolation, the net work formed by the outlines of the cells of a leaf. Astomous (capsule), without a mouth. Used of capsules which have no regularly dehiscent lid. Auricles, small lobes at the basal angles of the leaf, usually consisting of cells differing from those of the main part of the leaf in size or shape or both. (Fig. 3 and Fig. 2, a.) Properly used only when there is an outward curve in the outline of the leaf at the base, as in the figures, but often used loosely to denote the basal angles of widely decurrent leaves. Autoicous or autoecious, having male and female organs on the same plant. According to Braithwaite, there are three forms. I. Cladautoicous, with the male on a special proper branch. Gonioautoicous, with the male organs in a bud-like cluster, and axillary on a female branch. 3. Rhizautoicous, male branch very short and cohering to the female by the rhizoids. Axil, the angle at the base of a leaf between it and the stem. Basal or basilar cells, cells at the base or in- sertion of the leaf, often of different shape and color from those of the main part of the leaf. Beak, prolonged narrow tip of the operculum. The opercula in Figs. 6 and 8 are strongly beaked. Bicostatc, having a double costa, which is usually much shorter than in leaves having a single costa. Bifariotis, growing in two ranks. BiUd, cleft into two divisions like the amphigastria of Chiloscyphus or the teeth of Dicranum. Bisexual, synoicous. Bordered, having a margin different from the rest of the leaf. In Mnium and Bryum (which see), the border consists of a few rows of greatly elongated cells, often in two or more layers. Fig. organs 2. Fig. Please note th
