All men who attended had a head-dress made of the leaf petiole of the betel tree and the red leaves of the dongola plant.

The petiole is long, and the auricles distant from the lower laciniæ.

The top, as the tip of a bud or the end of a leaf which is opposite the petiole.

Leaf-like appendages on either side of a leaf at the base of the petiole.

In the petiole of Mimosa pudica the velocity may be as high as 30 mm.
