Both simple and compound leaves exhibit these two modes of venation. Of simple pinnately-veined leaves, the Beech, Mullein, and Willow supply familiar instances. The Mallow, Maple, Grape, Cur- rant, and Gooseberry have simple radiate - veined leaves. Sweet- Brier (Fig. 43), Mountain Ash, and Rose have compound pinnate leaves, whilst those of Virginia- yi^. \\\. Creeper (Fig. lit). Horse-Chest-nut, and Hemp are compound digitate. â - I III I , ._ Fig. 143.âPalinatcly-lobeil leaf of Maple. Fig. 144.âPalmate leaf of Virjifinia Creo]ier. &.
