The principal bud may produce leaves during the first 

 year, but I do not think It does so always, the first leaf is 

 placed laterally in reference to the subtending leaf; the bud in 

 question may attain the flowering stage the same year as the 

 parent-axis. In the herbarium-specimens, the second flowering

A, A fragment of a plant from Præstefjæld; 16.7. 1884; V2. The flower has been cut 

 off and placed by the side. The upper foliage-leaf subtends the principal bud of which 

 the growth begins with an elongated internode; I, basal part of the stalk of a foliage-leaf. 



B, The apex of a rhizome with a nutating leaf, the sheath of which surrounds the tip of 

 the shoot (5/2). C, Flower seen from above (%). The perianth leaves are of unequal size; 

 a stamen is placed by the side of the flower (^2)- The anthers are turned inwards. 

 D, Cluster of fruits, almost ripe (2/1). E, Transverse section of rhizome ("/1) ; end, endo- 



dermis; ph, leptome; x. xylem {A, B, C, D were drawn by E. Warming). 



axis on such individuals had a foliage-leaf which subtended 

 the rejuvenating shoot. Also other leaves than the uppermost 

 one may subtend shoots which are very similar to the principal 

 bud. — The slender, branched, adventitious roots arise from 

 the rhizome a short distance below each node.
