These leaves agree in being netted-veined, , in having veinlets that join each other at many angles, so as to form a sort of delicate lace-work, like Figs. 59 and 60. They differ, however, in the arrange- ment of the principal veins. Such a leaf as that of the elm is said to be feather- veined, or pinnately veined.

Relation of Venation to Shape of Leaves.—As soon as the student begins to observe leaves somewrhat widely, he can hardly fail to notice that there is a general rela- tion between the plan of venation and the shape of the leaf. How may this relation be stated? In most cases the principal veins follow at the outset a pretty straight course, a fact for which the student ought to be able to give a reason after he has per- formed Exp. XVI. On the whole, the arrangement of the , , , , i-j!c Apple, with Stipules, veins seems to be such as to stiiien the leaf most in the pai;ts that need most support, and to reach the region near the margin by as short a-course as.
