The terminal flower, which expands first, is borne upon apeduncle of two or more nodes; from these nodes, pairs ofsecondary opposite peduncles arise, each terminated by aflower, each of which, like the first, may again have two ormore nodes, and terminated by a flower. 174. The Cyme as exemplified in the Arenaria stricta(Fig. 84,) enables us to study this mode of inflorescence toadvantage. 175. The Fascicle (Fig. 85,) is a modification of theCyme, in which the flowers are crowded, and nearly sessile,as is seen in the Sweet William, and Wild Pink, (Dianthusarmerius.) 85.
