Solanum nigrum (fig. 236, C) illustrates a further complication owing to the union of the flower-shoot for some distance above the position of its bract with the axis of the next higher degree; the flower-shoot thus appearing to spring from the middle of an internode (extra-axillary)..

Fig. 237. Solanum torvum. A. End of a flowering shoot, | nat. size; note the extra-axillary position of the inflorescence. B. Flower in vertical section, x 2. C. Upper portion of anther shewing the porous dehiscence, x 7. D. Berry, slightly enlarged. E. Same cut across shewing seeds on branched placentas. A constant anatomical character is the occurrence in the stem of bicollateral bundles, affording a distinction from the simple collateral bundles of Scrophulariaceae. The flower, speaking strictly, is rarely actinomorphic owing to the oblique position of the ovary as indicated in the floral diagram (fig. 239, D). The corolla is regular, for instance.
