The opposite leaved type is also spiral. Tho leaves in each circle, whether two or more, are equidistant, dividing the eircamference of the stem into equal arcs. The members of the second circle are not placed directly above those of the first, but are turned, as it were, to the right or left, so as to stand over tha intervening spaces. Hence there may be traced as many spirals as there are leaves iu each whorl. 22'7. Decussate leaves result from this law, as in the motherwort, and all the mint tribe, where each pair of opposite leaves crosses in di- rection the next pair, forming four vertical rows of loaves. Therefore, it is 228. An established law that the course of development in the growing plant is universally spiral. But this, the formative cycle as it is called, has several variations.
