Since the members which arise from the axils of leaves (whether these are small clothing-scales, or large green laminse does not matter) are not considered to be leaves, but shoots, the flat leaf-like structures of the Butcher's-broom are also regarded as shoots, and are named "flattened shoots" (cladodes)—or, considering their similarity to leaves, " leaf-branches " (phylloclades)..

Fig. 82.—Plants with Leaf-like Branches (Cladodes). 1 Young Bhoot of Euseus Hypoglossum. 2 The same branch fully grown, with flowers on the cladodes. » Young shoot of Ruscus aculeatus. * The same branch with flowers on the cladodes. This view is strengthened materially by the fact that these leaf-like structures, in their further development, and in the production of shoots, behave exactly like ordinary cylindrical axes. That is to say, small scale-like leaves spring from them, and from the axils of these scales arise stalked flowers (see figs. 822 and 82 4) which ultimately fructify. Plants possessing such phylloclades are not very numerous on.
