94 THE INFLORESCENCE 



Ex. 45.— The student should examine the inflorescences oi as many plants 

 as possible, and determine which are racemose and which cymose in type. 

 Pay special attention to the position of the bracts whenever present. 



He must understand that a large number of complicated inflorescences are 

 met with, to which no names have been given. 



The structure and nomenclature of those of the simple racemose and 

 cymose types should be specially studied.
