Between thesebranchings there may be as many as six internodes, or only the axils of the old leaves it begins to flower, and from theaxillary bud continues to flower after the leaf has fallen, apparentlywithout limit of time, so that it is cauliflorous. As the leaves arepaired this results in two cushions of tissue opposite to each otherwhich continue producing flowers in fairly rapid succession; but ofthese only one, or rarely two, is open at one time. Laterally at thenode from just above the level of the insertion of the leaves therearise early, say, about the time when flowers are appearing, adven-titious rootlets, and others follow just below the level of the insertionof the leaves. If these rootlets find anchorage they become welldeveloped, and ultimately the
