3. The tittmch peduncle, which proceeds from the branches. 
4. The axillary, or bofoin flower-ftalk, which comes out be-* 
tween the leaf and ftem, or between the branch and ftem. 
5. The terminal flower-ftalk, which comes from the extremity 
of the branch or ftem. 
6. The jolitary peduncle, when there is only one in the fame 
place. 
7. The flattered peduncles, when a great many grow together 
without any order. 
FLower-ftalks are alfo diftinguifhed from the different modes 
in which flowers are borne and connected on them, into the 
uniflorms , biflorous , triflorous , or multiflorous peduncle, that is,' 
which bear one, two, three, or many flowers. 
Flowers are alfo collected or borne in the ten following modes. 
1. The fafliculus, a bunch or bundle, when peduncles are 
erect, parallel, placed clofe to one another, and all of the 
fame height, as in fweet- william. 
2. The capitulum, a little head, where many flowers are collect - 
ed into a head, at the extremity of a peduncle, as in globe 
amaranthus. 
3. The fpike, where the flowers fit clofe without foot-ftalks, 
and are placed along a common flower-ftalk. A fpike is 
called fecunda , Angle ranked, when all the flowers are 
turned to one fide ; or difticha , double ranked, when the flow- 
ers look to both Aides, or ftand two ways. 
4. The corymbiif, where the leffer fiower-ftalks of unequal lengths 
are produced along the common peduncle on ail fides, and 
rife to the fame height, fo as to form a flat or even furfaee 
at top, as in fpircea opulifolia. 
5. The panicle where the fructifications are difperfed upon 
foot-ftalks varioufly fubdivided, as in oats, &c. a panicle 
is faid to be diffufe when the partial foot-ftalks diverge, 
and the fructifications hang loofe; or flraight and narrow; 
when the foot-ftalks approach near to one another. 
6. The thyrjus is a panicle contracted into an oval or egg-. 
ihaped-form, fomewhat refembling the cone of a pine ; as 
in lilac , horfe chefnut, &c. 
7. The racemus or clufter, confifts of a common peduncle, 
having ihort lateral branches, all nearly of equal length 
proceeding from it ; as in the vine, currants &c. It is called 
racemus jecundus, or a one ranked clufter when all the foot-ftalks 
incline to one fide; as in the Jorrel-tree and moft of our 
mdromedas.
