. British trees. Trees. THE WALNUT. 4i3. leaves of former seasons in conspicuous scars. Each scar consists of a bracket with a flat, pale-brown surface ; its outline is scalloped into three lobes, the whole being roughly heart-shaped. The outermost lobe projects considerably from the surface of the twig, upon a support which merges gradually into the twig. The three-lobed form of the bracket leaves a hollow space, or deep fluting, on either side of this support. The leaf-scars on an ash form brackets of the same kind, but there the top surface has a semi-circular outline, and there is consequently no space for the flutings between the support and the main twig. Moreover, the brackets on the ash are arranged in opposite pairs, and the portion of the twig which lies between each pair is flattened. With the Walnut, on the contrary, they are arranged singly,.
