Fig. 133.— of ditto. really the commencement of a foliaged branch which terminates in an inflorescence; but the foliage-leaves do not unfold till after the flowering is over. On the axis of this bud the most elcternal and lowest leaves are two prophylls; then succeed three to four pairs of scale-like stipules (sc), and within these two to four foliage-leaves. Thus so far the bud is like a vegetative bud; but above these foliage-leaves follows the true inflorescence. The carpellary inflorescence consists of four to eight spirally-placed bracts (dr) with axillary flowers, which are borne on a shortened axis. In the axil of each bract (fig. 135) there stand the buds of two carpellary flowers, so that the whole inflores- cence possesses eight to sixteen flower-buds. But only a few of the flower - buds develop into mature flowers. Each carpellary flower has minute, indistinctly lobedj ereen.
