Figs. 876-879. — Leaf variation in Geum virginianum ; 876, a basal leaf from a winter rosette; 877, a higher leaf from a winter rosette; 878, a leaf from the lower part of a stem; 879, a leaf from the upper part of a stem. resulting in dorsiventral enlargement, while in the mesoph3ftic leaf, sur- face enlargement results from the extensive lateral development of the individual cells sup- plemented some- times by an increased number of cell divi- sions perpendicular to the surface. Variation in the leaf contour of land plants.—The hare- bell (Campanula rotundifolia) has a basal rosette of peti- oled, round, or ovate leaves, while the up- per stem leaves are narrowly lanceolate or even linear (figs. 871, 872). Early experiments related these leaf variations to light, the large basal being thought to result from shade or diffuse light, and the narrow upper leaves from intense light. However, the basal leaves are. Figs. 880, 881. — Leaf variation in the black oak (Quercus velutina); 880, an upper leaf, exposed to strong sunlight; 88r, a shade leaf from a lower branch of the same tree; leaves re- sembling 881 especially characterize basal shoots (suckers)..
