      1. (Bot.) A colored, usually green, expansion growing from
            the side of a stem or rootstock, in which the sap for the
            use of the plant is elaborated under the influence of
            light; one of the parts of a plant which collectively
            constitute its foliage.
  
      Note: Such leaves usually consist of a blade, or lamina,
               supported upon a leafstalk or petiole, which, continued
               through the blade as the midrib, gives off woody ribs
               and veins that support the cellular texture. The
               petiole has usually some sort of an appendage on each
               side of its base, which is called the stipule. The
               green parenchyma of the leaf is covered with a thin
               epiderm pierced with closable microscopic openings,
               known as stomata.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].]
      1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or]
            Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but
            has been introduced to some extent into some other
            countries.
  
      Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their
               color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also
               by various other characteristic differences, as of
               taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and
               quality are dependent upon the treatment which the
               leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for
               green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow
               pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being
               gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands
               upon a table, to free them from a portion of their
               moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly
               dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in
               the air for some time after being gathered, and then
               tossed about with the hands until they become soft and
               flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and
               rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a
               few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried
               slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting
               and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until
               the leaves have become of the proper color. The
               principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest
               kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial,
               and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a
               choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in
               the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest
               kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest
               varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made
               chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou},
               {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong},
               and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson.
  
      Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . . [tea] appears to have reached
               Europe till after the establishment of intercourse
               between Portugal and China in 1517. The Portuguese,
               however, did little towards the introduction of the
               herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch
               established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century,
               that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the
               habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8]

            and AF be drawnpependicular to OA, and EB and CG parallel
            to OA, and let OB be produced to G and F. E Then BD is the

   Economy
  
   Overview: Turkmenistan is largely desert country with nomadic cattle
   raising, intensive agriculture in irrigated oases, and huge gas and
   oil resources. Half its irrigated land is planted in cotton making it
   the world's tenth largest producer. It also has the world's fifth
   largest reserves of natural gas and significant oil resources. Until
   the end of 1993, Turkmenistan had experienced less economic disruption
   than other former Soviet states because its economy received a boost
   from higher prices for oil and gas and a sharp increase in hard
   currency earnings. In 1994, Russia's refusal to export Turkmen gas to
   hard currency markets and mounting debts of its major customers in the
   former USSR for gas deliveries contributed to a sharp fall in
   industrial production and caused the budget to shift from a surplus to
   a slight deficit. Furthermore, with an authoritarian ex-Communist
   regime in power and a tribally-based social structure, Turkmenistan
   has taken a cautious approach to economic reform, hoping to use gas
   and cotton sales to sustain its inefficient economy. With the onset of
   economic hard times, even cautious moves toward economic restructuring
   and privatization have slowed down. For 1995, Turkmenistan will face
   continuing constraints on its earnings because of its customers'
   inability to pay for their gas and a low average cotton crop in 1994.
   Turkmenistan is working hard to open new gas export channels through
   Iran and Turkey, but these may take many years to realize.
