Obvolutb, or half-equitant, when the outer leaf embraces only one of the margins of the inner, as in the sage. Triquetrous, where the bud is triangular in sec- tion, and the leaves equjtant at each angle, as in the Carices. 215. The principle of budding. Each leaf-bud may be regarded as a distinct individual, capable of vegetating either in its native position, or when removed to another, as is extensively practiced in the important operation of budding. 216. BuLBLETS. In the tiger-lily, Cicutabulbifera, and Aspidium bulbiferum, the axillary buds spon- taneously detach themselves, fall to the ground, and become new plants. These remarkable little bodies are called bulblets. I. 1,84, Showing the process of ";.
