333. 7tn. Corymb (Fig. 57, a) or false umbel, waen the 

 peduncles rise from different heights above the main stem, but 

 the lower ones being longer, they form nearly a level or a con- 

 vex top ; as the Yarrow. 



Sth. Fascicle (Fig. 57, 6) flowers on little stalks variously 

 inserted and subdivided, collec-ted into a close bundle, level ai

 heaped together in a globular form ; as in the Clover, and But-
