. The elements of botany for beginners and for schools. Botany. 76 FLOWERS. [section This is the inflorescence of Caraway (Fig. 208), Parsnip, and almost all of the great family of Umbelliferous (umbel-beariug) plants. 215. The second- ary or partial umbels of a compound um- bel are Umbkllets. When the umbellets are subtended by an involucre, this sec- ondary involucre is 208 called an Involucel. 216. A Compou7id raceme is a cluster of racemes racemosely arranged, as in Smilacina racemosa. A compound corymb is a corymb some branches of which branch again in the same way, as in Mountain Ash

A compound spike is a spicately disposed cluster of spikes. 217. A Fanicle, such as that of Oats and many Grasses, is a compound flower-cluster of a more or less open sort which branches with apparent irregularity, neither into corymbs nor racemes. Fig. 209 repre- sents the simplest panicle. It is, as it were, a raceme of which some of the pedicels have branched so as to bear a few flowers on pedicels of their own, while others remain simple. A compoundpa>dcle is ore that 209 branches in this v^ay again and again. 218. Determinate Inflorescence is that in which the flowers are from terminal buds. The simplest case is that of a solitary terminal flower, as.
