    "If folium semilanceolatum, and semiellipticum, defined to be more than the upper halves of those leaves transversely cut, were admissible, they would very happily express the exact shapes of the leaves of several species of Aloe, which are not linguæform, and much too broad at the base to call subulate, and too much truncated there to call lanceolate, elliptic, or ovate."
