Branching.—-Branches of the shoot aiise from lateral buds, which are in all respects like the terminal buds just de- scribed. If, for any reason, the terminal bud of the stem is destroyed, or its growth arrested, a branch, developing from a lateral bud near by, may assume the position and habit of the main axis. In many plants the death or arrest of the terminal bud recurs at regular intervals. In such plants, therefore, the main axis is really a succession of lateral branches, , the branching is sympodial (cf fig. 59 and ^ 58). In some plants, , lilac, two lateral buds standing at the same level may develop, if the terminal one fails. In this case the shoot divides into two equal branches. Ordi- narily, however, the terminal bud develops without interrup- tion. In case it is more vigorous than any of the lateral.
