Leaf-Mosaics. — In very many cases the leaves at the end of a shoot are so arranged as to form a pretty symmetrical pattern, as in the horse-chestnut (Fig. 107). When this is sufficiently regular, usually with the space between the leaves a good deal smaller than the areas of the leaves themselves, it is called a leaf-mosaic (Fig. 111). Many of the most interesting leaf-groups of this sort (as 1 Deutzia Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bergen, Joseph Y.
