FORM.—Leaves are simple or imbrauched (Fig. 124), aud compound or braneluHl (Fig. 125). The method of compounding or branching follows the stjde of veining. The veiniug, or venation, is of two general A kinds r in most plants *^ the main veins di- verge, and there is a conspicuous network of smaller veins: such leaves are netted- veined. In other plants the main veins are parallel, or nearly so, and there is no conspicuous network: these are parallel- veined leaves (Fig. 13G).
