frondescence

For several years, white deer have been seen munching ornamental frondescence in backyards and have become so popular among people that they are explicitly excluded from Charlottesville efforts to reduce the ruminating ungulate population.

Frondescence, the bursting into leaf.

These three groups will be found to include most of the forms under which frondescence of the clover blossoms occurs, but there are, of course, intermediate forms not readily to be grouped under either of the above heads.

On the whole, taking in consideration cases of partial frondescence, as well as those in which most of the parts of the flower are affected, phyllody would seem to be most common in the petals and carpels, least so in the case of the stamens and sepals.

The first two groups belong rather to frondescence of the bracts; but with regard to the whole of them it will easily be surmised that intermediate forms occur, linking one group to the other, and defying exact allocation in either.
