In Nofhofagus the blade is generally flat, in Fag us folded along the lateral nerves, in Quercus and Castanea folded along the midrib with the halves convolute (Castanea) or superposed, convolute or revolute {Quercus). The cork-cambium originates in the outermost layer of the cortex, and in Fagus persists throughout the life of the plant. o. Fig. 8. Quercus Robur. A.

In XotJio- fagus and Fagus both male and female flowers stand solitary^ or in dichasia in the axils of foHage-leaves; in other cases they form simple or compound catkins. In Quercus and in some species of Pasania and Castanea the male catkins are borne in the lower foHage- or scale-leaf-axils of the shoots ^ Celakovsky regards the male "flower" as a condensed catkin, probably still -with a terminal 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 Rendle, A.
