The Strobile.—This is a kind of spike formed of persistent membranous bracts or scales, each of which bears at its base a pistillate flower. It is seen in the Hop {fig. 216). The compound forms of v . tr the racemose type of inflo- rescence include aU the mo- difications of those alreadj' described in which the main peduncle bears secondary pedtmcles instead of single flowers in the axils of the bracts. The following are the chief varieties. i. ThePcmicle.—This is a compound raceme, or one in which the secondary peduncles bear racemes (fig. 217). The secondary axes may themselves branch in the same way as the primary one and form tertiary axes, &o., the ultimate subdivisions of which bear the flowers. For an example we may take the Yucca gloriosa. k. The Compotmd Corymb.—This may be seen in some species of Pyrus (fig. 211). It is sometimes called a pamicled corymb. It differs from the panicle as the corymb differs from the raceme. VOL. I. I.
