Fig. 30. 123. observed in the Heliotropium Peruvianum, in the Sedums, in the Droseras or sundews, and in most Boraginaceous plants. The theoretical formation of this inflorescence may be ascer- tained by consulting the ideal figure placed here by the side of the scorpioid cyme of Myosotis palustris. The first flower is situated at h, and terminates the growth of the primary axis a, h ; from the axil of the bract, or in the place where it is suppressed at c, arises a secondary axis, c, d, which by its vigorous development, usurps the place of the primary axis, which is thus cast to one side. In like manner, a tertiary axis, e, f, springs from the axis c, d, at e, the ter- minal flower at d becoming apparently lateral, as before j in this manner a succession of unifloral axes are produced from.
