THE FIKST BOOK OF BOTANY. 

 FIG. 150. 



Indefinite. 



All axillary inflorescence is INDEFINITE, because 

 the stem and branches, if there be any, may grow on 

 just the same as before blossoming. The inflores- 

 cence in Fig. 159 is indefinite. The stem does not 

 end with flowers, but with a leaf-bud, which con- 

 tinues its growth. 



The question, Kind ? is now added to the inflo- 

 rescence-schedule, and pupils will state, in answer, 

 whether the inflorescence is definite or indefinite.
