The chief point considered was the number of the ray flowers, 

 but regard was also had of the size and shape of the corollas. 



Counts were made of all the heads in flower upon each of 

 one hundred plants. There is an evident central head in each 

 plant which is marked terminal (T) in the following table, and 

 the next below it, and the second in order of blooming, is styled 

 the first lateral (ist) ; and the others in order are second, third 

 laterals, etc. (2nd, 3rd, etc.), the last, whether the third or 

 ninth (both extreme cases) being the youngest.
