Illustrated by a flora of northern, middle, and western states; particularly of the United States north of the Capitol, lat. 38 3/4. Botany; Plants; Plants. CYME. 105 rays answering to petals, and the involucre (254) to the calyx. The flowers are called florets, those in the outer circle, florets of the ray, and those of the central portions, florets of the disk. 304. The panicle is a compound inflorescence, formed by an irregular branching of the pedicels of the raceme. Ex. oats, Poa, and many other grasses. 305

The thyrse is the same as the panicle, having the lower branches rather shorter than those in the midst, and all of them very compact, as in the lilac (Syringa), horse-chestnut. a. The umbel becomes compound when each pedicel becomes itself an umbel, as in most of the Umbelliferse. In these cases the secondary umbels are called umbellets, and sometimes partial umbels. See § 254. By a similar decomposition, a raceme becomes a compound raceme, a corymb a compound corymb, & FIG. 38. —Modes of inflorescence; 1, raceme; 2, ament; 3, epadix; 4, head; 5, panicle; 6, veiticUlaster; 7, thyrse. 306. Of the centrifugal inflorescence, the following varieties are described; namely, cyme, fascicle, and verticillaster. 307. Cyme. This inflorescence has the general aspect of the corymb, but is remarkably distinguished from it by its centrifu- gal evolution, and by its branches being repeatedly 2-forked and 3-forked, as exemplified in Hydrangea, Viburnum, chick- weed. a. The cyme is found only in plants with opposite leaves, and its normal struc- ture and development are as follows The terminal flower, which is the first to.
