Botany. 163. Sedum. Spicate cyme. 164. Myosotia. Scorpioid cyme. is composed of a succession of independent axes, alternating to the right and left, each terminating in an apparently sessile flower. 5. The scorpioid cyme {Myosotis, fig. 164) is a raceme which rolls up in a crozier shape, like the tail of a scorpion ; it is composed of a succession of in- dependent axes, which do not al- ternate right and left, but form an interrupted line, which tends to turn back upon it- self; in this in- florescence, the bracts are usually suppressed (fig. 165). 6. In the con- 166. Box. Glomernle. tracted cyme the "^- Lamium. Faseicles on an indefinite stem. flowers are crowded, owing to the extreme shortness of the axes; it is called fascicled, when the axes are somewhat lengthened, and are regularly distributed.
