crenate

Thallus 2–6´ long, ½–¾´ wide; receptacle conic, striate, crenate.

Twice crenated, as in the case of leaves whose crenatures are themselves crenate.

Shortia.—S. galacifolia, a beautiful tufted plant 2 to 3 in. high, with roundish crenate leaves, on long stalks, and white funnel-shaped flowers in March and April.

Leaves.—Alternate; short-petioled; an inch or two long; oval or ovate; crenately lobed above; the lobes often toothed; silky pubescent beneath.

The projections between are rounded off so that the banks of the stream have assumed the crenate form shown in Plate XXVIII, and Frontispiece.
