expression of this tendency. The balance of the 

 organism being partially upset, the innate primitive 

 constitution of the shoot asserts itself owing to the 

 absence of the normal restraining conditions of growth, 

 and a terminal leaf, under one form or another, is the 

 result. Hence we may have again to do with a case 

 of reversion.
