In some histauces the skillful gardener learns how to eflect tiiis intertliuuge uf nature in the buds at pleasure. 324. Hence in position and arkangement flower buds can not differ from leaf buds, and bolli are settled bv the same unerritK'- Jaw which determines the arrangement of the leaves. Acoordintrlv the flower bud is always found either terminal or axillary. 325. A single bud, whether terminal or axillary, may develop either a compound inflorescence, consisting of several flowers with their stalks and bracts, or a solitari/ inflorescence, consisting of a single flower. 326. The flower-bud is incapable of extension. While the leaf- bud may unfold leaf after leaf and node after node to an indefinite ex- tent, the flower-bud blooms, dies, and arrests for ever the extension of the axil which bore it. 327. The peduncle is the flower-stalk. It bears no leaves, t^r at least only sucn as are reduced in size and changed in form, called (tracts. If the peduncle is wanting the flower is said to be sessile. 328. The simple peduncle bears a single flower ; but if the pedun- cle be divided into branches, it bears several flowers, and the final divis- ions bearing each a single flower, are called pedicels. 329. The scape is a flower-stalk which springs from a subterranean stem, in such })lants as are called stemless or acaulescent, as the prim- rose, tulip, blood-root. Like the peduncle it is leafless or with biacts only, and may be either simple or branched. 330. The raciiis [paxtg, spine) is the axis of the inflorescene(\ or the main stem of the compound peduncle along which the pedicels are arranged. 331. Thk torus or Receptaole is the
