The leaves (8—16x 6—18 cm.) may be nearly entire, with pinnate venation;but are more commonly palmately 3—7-lobed, or even5-partite, and veined, cordate at the base, each lobe more orless rectangular or rounded, long, with dilated ends, obtuseor acute, sinuate or again cut, and separated by shallow orvery deep wide sinuses. Lamina thick, dark green andscabrous above, and pubescent or nearly tomentose andpaler beneath. Base cordate. Petiole stout, 2—5 cm. leaf convolute. The lowest leaves nearly entire, rounded ovate, withmore or less tapering base. Autumn leaves yellow. 224 FIG : MULBERRY Venation palmate, the lateral basal veins—at least theinner ones—very strong, far more so than the pinnate. Fig. 76. The Fig, Ficus Carica, p. 223 (Wo). secondaries from the midrib, and ending in the pointsof the lobes. Lowest basal primaries short and feebler,and forming angles of 90° or more with the curving forward and looping into an infra-marginal vein. Tertiaries forming a prominent network. tt Leaves thin ; pulvinus and leaf-scar small. Morus alba, L. Mulberry (Figs. 77 and 78). Smalltree. Leaves about 3—10 cm. in diameter; variable,ovate or broadly ovate, to rhomboid; or more or lesscordate or oblique at the base, acute and coarsely andunequally serrate, and cut into 2—5 lobes, with roundedentire sinuses; the lobes broadly ovate or rounded, un-equal, usually 3—5 and the middle larger, or the leavesmay be 5-partite.
