The following forms depend less upon the proportion of the veinlets than on the imperfect development of the tissue between FIG. 30. —12 —16, figures of feather-veined leaves, the remainder of radiate-veined. 13. Runcinate (re-uncinate), having the margin extended at the veins into pointed segments, which curv^e backwards. Ex. Taraxacum. 14. Lyrate (lyre-shaped), with several deep, rounded sinuses, occasioned by deficiency of tissue between the lower veinlets ; water-cress (Sisymbrium). 15. Pinnatifid (feather-cleft), with deep sinuses between the veinlets, separating each margin of the leaf into oblong, par- allel segments. Ex. Lepidium. 16. Sinuate, having deep, rounded openings between the veinlets, seen in the leaves of the white oak. 233. Icavcs assuiuc mamy forms, depending upon the direction of the veins, and the quantity of the inter- vening tissue. Some of them are the following. 17. Palmate (palm-shaped), having five lobes, with as many veins (227) separated by deep divisions, so as to resemble the palm of the hand with the fingers. Ex.
