Sometimes a vein runs along ttc margin, which might otherwise be easily torn, as in the Caladium. But when the marginal tissue is de- ficient, the leaf becomes x 279. Dentate, having sharp teeth pointing outward from the centre; serrate, with sharp teeth pointing forwards, like the teeth of a saw ; crenate, with rounded or blunt teeth. The terms denticulate, serrulate^ crenulate, denote finer indentations of the several kinds; doubly den- tate, &c., denote that the teeth are themselves toothed. 280. The undulate, or wavy edge is somewhat different from the repand, which bends like the margin of an umbrella. If the veins pro- ject, and are tipped with spines, the leaf becomes spinous. 281. Irreoulably divided margins are said to he erase or jagged, laciniate or torn, incised or cut. 282. Crisped. Often, instead of a deficiency there is a superabun- dance of marginal tissue, denoted by the term crispate or crisped. APEX. aba d e f Q h k.
