When the leaf is somewhat broad in the centre, and tapers towards the two extremities, as in the Privet, it is lanceolate (fig. 121). If more rounded at the extremities and broader in the centre, it is oval, or elliptical (fig. loi), and oblong when rather long. When, as in the Guelder Rose (fig. no), the leaf is broad and rounded at the base, tapering to a point at the apex, it is ovate or egg-shaped; and if the reverse, obovate, or inversely 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 Edmonds, Henry.
