Some explanationmay, however, be given here, by means of a few examples, of the use of the termsDisplacement, Adhesion, and Abortion. The diagrammatic Fig. 149 shows a branch-system developed sympodially and pro-ceeding from an axillary shoot; i, i being the first shoot with its two leaves i^ and i^ ; inthe axil of the leaf i^ is developed the shoot 2, 2, with its two leaves 2% 2^ ; in the axil ofits leaf (2^) again arises the lateral shoot 3, 3, with its leaves 3% 3^, and so on. The partsof the stem of the shoots 1,2,3,4, which proceed from one another, form a straight pseud-axis (sympodium) with the peculiarity that the mother-leaf in whose axis the lateral shoot.
