A Stemless plant is one which bears no obvious stem, but only leaves and flower-stalks, as in the Common Blue Violet and Liver-leaf (Pl. LXXXIV.).

A Scape is the leafless flower-stalk of a stemless plant. (See Liver-leaf (Pl. LXXXIV.).)

An Entire Leaf is one the edge of which is not cut or lobed in any way. (See Rhododendron, Pl. XVI., and Closed Gentian, Pl. C.)

A Simple Leaf is one which is not divided into leaflets; its edges may be either lobed or entire. (See Rhododendron, Pl. XVI.; also Fig. 1.)
