OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF PLANTS.
The plants which spread very much have the angles of the spaces
which divide their branches more obtuse in proportion as their point
of origin is lower down; that is nearer to the thickest and oldest
portion of the tree. Therefore in the youngest portions of the tree
the angles of ramification are more acute. Footnote: Compare the
sketches on the lower portion of Pl. XXVII, No. 2.
