A. 1. Summit of axis; a. a. a. scars of young leaves remov-

d. dorsal leaf of bud, e. summit of its axis. The 
opposite side of the fig. represents the next axil- 
lary bodies, f. being the axis, g. the dorsal leaf. 
At A. is the third axill. now reduced to an entire 
dise, no trace of its leaf, no trace of flower bud. 
In the axilla of the leaf, 7. there is no disc. 
Then comes the discoid summit £. and a leaf just 
forming /. 
3. Axillary productions, more advanced scar of petiole. 
b. flower bud, c. axillary bud, with its dorsal leaf, 
d. the same dorsal leaf in front separating the disc, 
on the front of which is the punctum of another 
leaf, e. flower bud, oblong rounded, with perhaps 
: rudiments of three puncta, f. the same. 
3. 1. Portion of a stem at a node, leaf removed, then
