The leaves are of unusual shape and de- velop in a most pe- culiar and character- istic manner. The leal-bnds are composed of scales as is usual, and these scales grow with the growing shoot. In this r(;si:)ecl the buds do not ilillCr from those of manv other trees, but wnat is peculiar Is that each jiair of scales devel- ops so as to form an oval en- velop which contains the young leaf and piotects it against changing temperatures until it is strong enough to sustain them without injury. When it has reached that stage the bracts separate, the tiny leaf comes out carefully folded along the line of the midrib, opens as it matures, and until it becomes full grown the bracts do duty as stipules, be- coming an inch or more in length before they fall, 'I'he leaf is unique in shape, its apex is cut off at the end in a way peculiarly its own, the petioles 17.
