Abstract
tions. We did find on rare individuals a fasciation of branches resulting from insect damage to an apical meristem. Witches' brooms or comparable fasciations due to fungi or mutations did not appear within the forest under study. A few shrubs, e.g., Cleyera and Symplocas, had scrambling branches when intermediate in height. Aberrant leaf forms were encountered and these were the result of abnormal laminal development following insect damage of primordia or very young leaves.
