Such are the upper leaves of true Honey-suckles. Here (Fig. 163) of the opposite and sessile leaves, some pairs,especially the uppermost, in the course of tlieir formation unite around thestem, which thus seems to run through the disk formed by their union. 160. Equitant Leaves. While ordiuary leaves spread horizontally, andpresent one face to the sky and the other to tlie earth, there are some thatpresent their tip to the sky, and their faces right and left to the these are the equitant leaves of the Iris or Flower-de-Luce.
