The coryms, (corymbus), is, properly speaking, an 
erect racemus, the lower flower-stalks of which are 
either branched or simple, but always so much pro- 
duced as to be of equal height with the uppermost,

§ 58. 7 
The FAscicuz, or bundle, (fasciculus), is a num- 
ber of simple foot-stalks of equal height, which arise,. 
not from one point, but from several. The Fasci- 
culus differs from the Corymbus in its’short flower- 
stalks, and in their not being dispersed upon a 
long stem. From the Umbel it differs in that the 
flowers do not arise from one point. From the 
Cyma it differs in that the flower-stalks are not 
branched. As an example of the Fasciculus may. 
be quoted Dianthus carthusianorum.

The umberL, (umbella), consists of a number of 
flower-stalks of equal leneth that rise from the point.
