and this is usually associated with a leaf-like condition of the bracts, and sometimes even with the development of leaf-bearing shoots in place of the scales.

article The arrangement of the flowers on the axis, or the ramification of the floral axis, is called the primary axis of the inflorescence is sometimes delivery silk wedding flowers the rachis; its delivery silk wedding flowers, whether terminal or lateral, which form the stalks supporting flowers or clusters of flowers, are peduncles, and if small branches are given off by it, they are called pedicels. A flower having a stalk is called pedunculate or pedicel- late; one having no stalk is describing a branching inflorescence, it is common to speak of the rachis as the primary floral axis, its branches as the secondary floral axes, their divisions as the tertiary floral axes, and so on; thus avoiding any confusion that might arise from the use of the terms rachis, peduncle and pedicel.

The peduncle is simple, bearing a single flower, as in primrose; or branched, as in London-pride. - Peduncle of Fig It is sometimes succulent, as in Carica, ending in a the cashew, in which it forms the receptacle, enclosing large coloured expansion supnumerous male and delivery silk wedding flowers porting the nut; spiral, as in and Vallisneria; or spiny, as in Alyssum the peduncle proceeds from radical leaves, that is, from an axis which is so shortened as to bring the leaves close together in the form of a cluster, best flower delivery denver in the primrose, auricula or hyacinth, it is termed a scape.

The floral axis may be shortened, assuming a flattened, convex or concave form, and bearing numerous flowers, delivery silk wedding flowers in the arti choke, daisy and fig fig. The floral axis sometimes appears as if formed by several delivery silk wedding flowers united together, constituting a fasciated axis, as in the delivery flowers japan, in which the flowers form a peculiar crest at the apex delivery silk wedding flowers the flattened occasionally take place between the peduncle and the bracts or leaves of the plant, as in the lime-tree fig.

The adhesion of the peduncles to the stem accounts for the extraaxillary position flower delivery houston tx 77040 flowers, as in many this union extends for a considerable length along the stem, several leaves may be interposed between the part where the peduncle becomes free and the leaf whence it originated, and it may be difficult delivery silk wedding flowers trace the peduncle occasionally becomes abortive, and in place of bearing a flower, is transformed into a tendril; at other times it is hollowed at the apex, so as apparently to form the lower part of the outer whorl of floral leaves as in Eschscholtzia.

The termination of the peduncle, or the part on which the whorls of the flower are arranged, is called the thalamus, torus or receptacle. There are two distinct types of inflorescence - one in which the flowers arise as lateral shoots from a primary axis, which goes on elongating, and the lateral shoots never exceed in their development the length of the primary axis beyond their point of flowers are thus always axillary. Exceptions, such as in cruciferous plants, are due to the non-appearance of delivery silk wedding flowers the other type the primary axis terminates FIG.

producing flower-buds as it grows, the lower expanding first fig. 8, or it is shortened and depressed, and the outer flowers expand first fig. The expansion of the flowers is thus centripetal, that is, from base to apex, or from circumference to centre. The second kind of inflorescence is determinate, definite or this the axis is either elongated and ends in a solitary flower, which thus terminates the axis, and if are produced, delivery silk wedding flowers belong to secondary axes farther from the centre; or the axis is shortened and flat tened, producing a number of separate floral axes, the central f one expanding first, while the others are developed in succession farther from delivery silk wedding flowers expansion of the flowers is in this case centrifugal, that is, from delivery silk wedding flowers to base, or from centre to is illustrated in fig.

From the leaves which are radical proceeds the axis ending in a solitary terminal flower f. About the middle of this axis there is flower delivery houston airport leaf delivery silk wedding flowers bract, from which a secondary floral axis a" is produced, ending in a single flower less advanced than the flower f.

This secondary axis bears a leaf also, from which a tertiary floral axis a" is produced, bearing an unexpanded solitary flower f". From this tertiary axis a fourth is in progress of f is the termination of the primary axis, and this flower expands first, while the other flowers are developed centrifugally on separate axes. article A third series of inflorescences, termed mixed, may be them the primary axis has an arrangement flower delivery in china to the opposite type from that of the branches, or vice to the mode and degree of development of the lateral shoots and also of the delivery silk wedding flowers, various forms of both inflorescences result.

Amongst indefinite forms the simplest occurs when a lateral shoot produced in the axil of a large single foliage leaf of the plant ends in a single flower, the axis of the plant elongating beyond, as in Veronica hederifolia, Vinca minor and Lysimachia nemorum. The flower in this case is solitary, and the ordinary leaves become bracts by producing flower-buds in place of leaf-buds; their number, like that of the leaves of this main axis, is indefinite, varying with the vigour of the plant.

Usually, however, the floral axis, arising from a more or less altered leaf or bract, instead of ending in a solitary flower, is prolonged, and bears numerous bracteoles, delivery silk wedding flowers which smaller peduncles are produced, and those again in their turn may be delivery silk wedding flowers in a similar the flowers are arranged in groups, and frequently very complicated forms of inflorescence the primary peduncle or floral axis, as in fig.

8, is elongated, and gives off pedicels, ending in single flowers, a raceme is produced, as in currant, hyacinth and barberry. H the secondary floral axes give rise to tertiary ones, the raceme is branching, and flower delivery jordan a panicle, as in Yucca in a raceme the lower flowerstalks are developed more strongly than the upper, and thus all the flowers are nearly on a level, a corymb is formed,which may be simple, as in fig.

II, where the primary axis a gives off secondary axes a", a", which end in single flowers; or branching, where the secondary delivery silk wedding flowers again the pedicels are very short or wanting, so that the flowers are sessile, a spike is produced, as in Plantago and vervain Verbena officinalis fig.

If the spike bears unisexual flowers, as delivery silk wedding flowers willow or hazel fig. 13, it is an amentum or catkin, hence such trees are called amentiferous; at other times it becomes succulent, bearing numerous flowers, surrounded by a sheathing bract or spathe, and then it constitutes a spadix, which may be simple, as in Arum maculatum fig.

A spike bearing female flowers only, and covered with scales, is a strobilus, as in the grasses FIG. - Corymb of Cerasus Mahaleb, terminating delivery silk wedding flowers abortive branch, at the base of which are modified leaves in the form of scales, e. a, Primary axis; a", secondary axes bearing flowers; b, bract in the axils of which the secondary axes arise.

there are usually numerous sessile flowers arranged in small spikes, called locustae or spikelets, which are either set closely along a central axis, or produced on secondary axes formed by the branching of the central one; to the latter delivery silk wedding flowers the term panicle is applied.
