Intbe-petiolab STiptTLES oocuT ia a few opposite leaved tribes, as the Gar lium tribe. Here we find them as mere bristles in Diodia while in Galium they look like the leaves, forming whorls. Such whorls, if complete, will be appar- ently 6-leaved, consisting of two true leaves and four stipules.

The Ligule of grasses is generally regarded as a double axil- lary stipule. The leaflets of compound leaves are sometimes furnished with little stipules, called stipels. 252. Stipules aee often fugacious, existing as scales in the bud, and falling vehen the leaves expand, or soon after, as in the Magnolia and tulip-tree. { OF THE VEINS. 253. Leaves, simple and compound. A leaf is simple when its blade consists of a single piece, however cut, cleft or divided; and com- pound when it consists of several distinct blades, supported by as many branches of a compound petiole. 254. Nature of veins. The blade of the leaf consists of, (1) the frame-wovk, and (2) the tissue commonly called the parenchyma. The frame-work is made up of the branching vessels of the foot-stalk, which are woody tubes pervading the parenchyma, and conveying nourishment to every part. Collectively, these vessels are called veins, from the analogy of their functions. 255. Venation is a term denoting the manner in which the veins are divided and distributed. The several organs of venation, differing from each other only in size and position, may be termed the midveiu veins, veinlets and veinulets
