 Rh, t. 401, and Scirpus maritimus, t. 542.

Obtusum cum acumine, blunt with a small point, as Statice Limonium, t. 102.

Mucronatum or Cuspidatum, sharp-pointed, tipped with a rigid spine, as in the Thistles, t. 107, t. 386, &c., Ruscus aculeatus, t. 560, and ''Melaleuca nodosa, Exot. Bot. t.'' 35.

Cirrosum, cirrose, tipped with a tendril, as in ''Gloriosa superba, Andr. Repos. t.'' 129.

6. The different Margins of Leaves are characterized as follows.

Folium integerrimum, an entire leaf, as in the Orchis and Lily tribe, as well as ''Polygala vulgaris, Engl. Bot. t. 76, Daphne Laureola. t.'' 119, &c.

This term is opposed to all kinds of teeth, notches, or incisions. It regards solely the margin of a leaf; whereas integrum, p. 152, respects its whole shape, and has nothing to do with the margin. English writers who translate the one entire, and the other very entire are therefore incorrect.
