Both modes are subject to many modifications, the most important of which are briefly indicated in the following table; and moreover a member may branch for a time dichotomously and then monopodially, or the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bessey, Charles E.
