319. The Pantcie resembles the raceme, but the pedun- 
cles are branched, longer, and more loose and distant, as in 
London Pride or None-so-pretty (Saxifraga umbrosa), Oats 
(Avena sativa), Fig. 16, and many Grasses. It may be 
termed a branched raceme. 
320. The Coryms has the peduncles arising from diffe- 
rent heights on the stem, but long in proportion to their dis- 
tance from the summit, so that all the flowers are nearly at 
the same level,asin Common Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium), 
Fig. 17, and many others of the order Composite. It may 
be regarded as a raceme, in which the lower pedicels ar 
much elongated.
