Now the sum of the spirals contained in the two steepest sets gives the denominator of the fraction expressing the true formative spiral sought. Thus, 8-|-13=-21. The numerator corresponding is already known, and the fraction is . See also the white pine cone, whose cycle is _»^. 238.

The leaf may be regarded as an expan- sion of the substance of the bark, extended into a broad thin plate by means of a woody frame work or skeleton, issuing from the inner part of the stem. The expanded portion is called the lamina or blade of the leaf, and it is either sessile, that is, attached to the stem by its base, or it is petiolate, attached to the stem by a footstalk called the petiole. 240. Stipules. But the regular petiole very often bears at its base a pair of loaf-like appendages, more or less ap- parent, c?.lled stipules. Leaves so appendaged are said to be stipulate, otherwise they are ex- stipulate. 241. Therefore a complete leaf consists of three distinct parts; the lamina or blade, the petioie, and the stipules. Transformations. Both the petiole, blade iind stipules are subject to numerous mod- iiicatitms of form. Either of them may exist without the others, or they may all be transformed into other orpans, as pitchers, spines, tendrils, and even into the organs of the flower, as will /;, hereafter appear.
