tural habit of the genus, as in many Mimosæ of New Holland; see M. verticillata, Curt. Mag. t. 110, and myrtifolia, t. 302; also Lathyrus Nissolia, Engl. Bot. t. 112. The germination of this last plant requires investigation, for if its first leaves be pinnated, which is probable, it is exactly a parallel case with the New Holland Mimosæ.
Cucullatum, hooded, when the edges meet in the lower part, and expand in the upper, as those of the curious genus Sarracenia. See Curt. Mag. t. 780 and 849, and S. adunca, Exot. Bot. t. 53.
Appendiculatum, furnished with an additional organ for some particular purpose not essential to a leaf, as Dionæa muscipula, Curt. Mag. t. 785, cultivated very successfully by Mr. Salisbury, at Brompton, whose leaves each terminate in a pair of toothed irritable lobes, that close over and imprison insects; or Nepenthes distillatoria, Rumph. Amboin. v. 5, t. 59, f. 2, the leaf of which bears a covered pitcher, full of water. Aldrovanda vesiculosall, and our Utriculariæ,
