Abstract
THE chief part of the Rev. G. Henslow's objections (NATURE, vol. vii., p. 403) to my condensation-theory of leaf-arrangement are due to a double oversight on his part. First, he has overlooked the condition of contact among the balls which I use to represent embryo leaves. Second, he has overlooked the fundamental position, that leaf-order exists for, and is determined in, the bud.
