In the case of the Sigillariae, the variations in the leaf-scars in different parts of the trunk, the intercalation of new ridges at the surface representing that of new woody wedges in the axis, the transverse marks left by the stages of upward growth, all indicate that several years must have been required for the growth of stems of moderate size.
Branching stem with bark and leaves of L. Sternbergii. Portion of same nearer the root. Natural size. Lycopodium densum. a. Living species. New Zealand. b. Branch; natural size. c. About forty species of fossil plants of the Coal have been referred to this genus, more than half of which are found in the British coal-measures. They consist of cylindrical stems or trunks, covered with leaf-scars.
It looks as if there were a layer of bark, ending with the scar, fastened over each side of the stem. These apparent layers alternate as well as the scars. The epidermis, or skin of the leaves, is in fact always continuous with that of the stem. There are no dots on the leaf-scars. The rings are not nearly so noticeable as in Horsechestnut, but they can be counted for some years back.
The chief way is the distribution of the leaves about the stem, and this is well studied from the leaf-scars. The scholars should keep the branches they have studied. It is well to have them marked with the respective names, that the teacher may examine and return them without fear of mistakes.
The rings thus become separated in Magnolia, while in the Beech the first internodes are not developed, leaving a distinct band of rings, to mark the season's growth. The Magnolia is therefore less desirable to begin upon. The branches are swollen at the beginning of a new growth, and have a number of leaf-scars crowded closely together. The leaf-scars are roundish, the lower line more curved.
He will be sure to jump at any conclusions which he thinks ought to be correct. The leaf-scars are semicircular, small and swollen. The bud-rings are plain. The twigs make a very small growth in a season, so that the leaf-scars and rings make them exceedingly rough. The flower-cluster scars are small circles, with a dot in the centre, in the leaf-axils. The flowers come before the leaves.
The leaf-scars are small and extend about half around the stem. The arrangement is alternate on the one-half plan. There are three dots on the scar. The rings are quite plain. The tree can be used to make tables of growth, like those of the Beech.
If the water is changed every day, and the glass kept near the register or stove, they will blossom out very quickly. These expanded shoots may be compared with the buds. The number of leaves in the bud varies. The leaf-scars of Lilac are horseshoe-shaped and somewhat swollen. It can often be plainly seen that the outer tissue of the stem runs up into the scar.
The venation is very distinct. The outer leaves are smaller and, on examining the branch, it will be seen that their internodes do not make so large a growth as the leaves in the centre of the bud. Copper Beech. 1. Branch in winter state: a, leaf-scar; b, bud-scar. 2. The leaf-scars are small, soon becoming merely ridges running half round the stem.
The scales of the flower-buds are somewhat gummy, but not nearly so much so as those of the leaf-buds. Within is the catkin. The leaf-scars are somewhat three-lobed on the young parts, with three dots, indicating the fibro-vascular bundles, which ran up into the leaf. The scars are swollen, making the young branches exceedingly rough. In the older parts the scars become less noticeable.
