. A history of the vegetable kingdom; embracing the physiology of plants, with their uses to man and the lower animals, and their application in the arts, manufactures, and domestic economy. Illus. by several hundred figures. Botany; Botany, Economic; 1855. Digitate, when this division extends nearly to the base of the root, as in some of the others of the genus orchis ; k, creeping,a,s in mint and other fa- miliar plants; AreoWy, when the ramification of the root presents at intervals a kind of enlargement or knots, which impart somewhat the resemblance of a necklace, as in the drop wort, fig. I. These knots, however, are not to be confounded with the true tubercles, which al- ways contain the rudi- mentsofanewstem. Gran- ulated,\yh\c}i present a mass of small tubercles contain- ing eyes, by which a new plant is produced, as in the saxifrage, saxi- fraga granulata; fasciculate, when foi-med of numerous thick, simple, or branched radicles, as in asphodel and ranunculus ; articulated, or forming joints at regular dietances, as in gratiola; contorted, when curved in different directions, as in bistort; capillary, formed of a number of slender capillary tubes, as in wheat, barley, grasses ; comose, when the filaments are branched.
