So long as the terminal bud only is developed, the plant grows up a simple stem. But by the growth of these axillary buds, if they grow at all, branches are pro- duced ; and these branches, from their axillary buds, produce branchlets, and so on. 202. What do you understand by the nodes and internodes f How is the axis always terminated ? 203. In what case will the stem be simple ? How are branches produced.
