Where Buds Are.—Buds are borne in the axils of the leaves,—in the acute angle that the leaf makes with 1^ the stem. When the leaf is grow- ing in the summer, a bud is form- ing above it. When the leaf falls, the bud remains, and a scar marks the place of the leaf. Fig. 57 shows the large leaf-scars of ailan- thus.

Sometimes two or more buds are borne in one axil: the extra ones are accessory or supernumerary s8. Termi- buds. Observe them in the Tar- between tarian honeysuckle (common in bWu°d°th— yards), walnut, butternut, red Cum"lt' maple, honey locust, and sometimes in the apricot and peach. 89. Shoots of many plants bear a bud at the tip: this is a terminal bud. It continues the growth of the axis in a direct line. Very often three or more buds are clustered Ailanthus. «:-%f* "-.•-x at the tip (Fig. 58); and in this case there may be more buds than leaf-scars. Only one of them, however, isstrictly terminal. 90. Bulbs and cabbage heads may be likened to buds: that is, they are condensed stems, with scales or modified leaves densely overlapping and forming a rounded body. (Fig. 59.) They differ from true buds, however, in the fact. 59. A gigantic bud.—CalibMgc.
