March or April in the axils of the leaves of the previous year, the staminate and pistillate in separate clusters on the same or different trees; fruit on pedicels 1.
The latter, in fact, in consequence of this labour of production, becomes gradually emptied, and yet preserves the generative pedicels of the corpuscles, even when it no longer contains any solid or coloured matter.
Afterwards long elliptical sporules of the second generation are produced on short pedicels by the conjugated fusiform bodies of the first generation.
The mycelium is often nearly obsolete, and the short pedicels so evanescent, that a rusty or sooty powder represents the mature fungus, infesting the green parts of living plants.
The pedicelsof both kinds of fruit are formed from the same mycelium in the order just described.
Before their connection was known, the conceptacles and the conidia pedicels were considered as organs of two very different species of fungi.
The pedicels are not all on the same plane; they are often implanted all on the same, and oftenest on the convex side of the reproductive body.
The spores are borne in definite clusters on short pedicels in such of the genera as have been examined.
Sometimes two secondary spores are thus engendered from the same spore, and their pedicels may be implanted on the same or on different sides, so as to be parallel in the former case, and growing in opposite directions in the latter.
Note how many there are deep-throated and bell-flowered like the pentstemons, how many have nodding pedicels as the columbine, how many grow in copse shelters and grow there only.
Single flowers have often a two-inch spread of petal, and the full, twelve blossomed heads above the slender pedicels have the airy effect of wings.
The great defect of this grape is that the berries part from the pedicels as they ripen and perfect bunches cannot be secured.
Experience has thoroughly demonstrated to grape-growers in California that decay in grapes is largely dependent on the presence of injuries to the grape berries, to the pedicels or to the stems of the bunches.
The seeds and pedicels removed from the raisins in seeding vary from 10 to 12 per cent of the original weight of the raisins according to their conditions and quality.
In packing, the bunches are placed firmly in the baskets with care not to crush or bruise the stems or to injure the pedicels of the berries.
In grapes a similar condition may occasionally be met with in which the terminal pedicels become greatly swollen and fused into a solid mass.
A good illustration of this is afforded by the feather-hyacinth, Hyacinthus comosus, in which the flowers are almost entirely suppressed, while the pedicels are inordinately increased in number, and their colour heightened.
In the case of the ash the terminal pedicels occasionally become swollen and distorted, while the flowers are completely deficient, as shown in the adjacent cut (fig.
Cardamine pratensis: "On the lower part of the corymb were several seed vessels on pedicels changed from their usual linear to an ovate elliptical figure, so as to resemble a silicula.
In other cases the formation of hair seems to accompany the diminished development of some organ, as on the barren pedicels of the wig plant, Rhus Cotinus.
In these cases the supernumerary pedicels are often brightly coloured.
The pods, three or four inches long, stand up stiffly, on pedicels curved like hooks.
The stem bears a bracted, roundish head of flowers at the top, the pedicelsvarying in length.
A flower-cluster in which the flowers are borne along the flower-stalk on pedicels of nearly equal length.

There are several kinds of Streptopus, much like Disporum, but the pedicels of the flowers are twisted or bent.
Dividing the nerve in any part of its length has the effect, whether or not the ray is detached from the animal, of completely destroying all physiological continuity between the pedicels on either side of the line of division.
Thus it will be seen that all the pedicels of all the rays are in communication, by means of a closed system of tubes, with this madreporic tubercle.
Thus, the effect of a transverse section of the nerve in a ray is that of completely destroying physiological continuity between the pedicels on either side of the section.
A radiating part of the flower or plant; the marginal florets of a compound flower, as an aster or a sunflower; one of the pedicels of an umbel or other circular flower cluster; radius.
Rhus Cotinus) in which the flowers are mostly abortive and the panicles transformed into tangles of plumose pedicels looking like wreaths of smoke.

There are glandular streaks at the base of the branches above the point of insertion in the naked portion and also on the pedicels of the spikelets.
Pedicels of upper spikelets half as long as the sessile spikelets or longer.
The spikelets are all 1-flowered and 1-glumed, articulate on the pedicelsabove the rudimentary glumes, strongly laterally compressed.
If the spikelets borne by the axis are all stalked, however short the pedicels may be, it is a =raceme=.
Mature spikelets are deciduous with their pedicels singly in Perotis and in clusters in others.
Spikelets 1-flowered; Spikelets articulate on their pedicels and falling away from them; flowers bisexual and usually with six stamens II.
Joints of rachis andpedicels of upper spikelets clavate or trumpet-shaped and tips cupular with toothed margins.
The inflorescence consists of two spikes, 1-1/2 to 2 inches long; joints and pedicels of the pedicelled spikelets equal, hairy at the back and at the angles.
But in some species of grasses such as Pennisetum Alopecuros and Setaria glauca, the paniculate inflorescences become so contracted that the pedicels and the short branches are hidden and the inflorescence appears to be a spike.
The purple fluid within the cells of the pedicels is rendered finely granular, but there is no true aggregation; nor does this follow [page 68] when the leaves are subsequently placed in a solution of carbonate of ammonia.
But in the cells of the pedicels numerous, almost colourless, spheres of matter appeared, which changed their forms and slowly coalesced; the appearance of the cells being thus totally changed at successive intervals of time.
The pedicels of the tentacles were roughly and repeatedly rubbed; raw meat or other exciting substances were placed on them, both on the upper surface near the base and elsewhere, but no distinct movement ensued.
If the tentacles of a young, yet fully matured leaf, that has never been excited or become inflected, be examined, the cells forming the pedicels are seen to be filled with homogeneous, purple fluid.
The pedicels of the glands which are situated close to the slit-like orifice, both those on the valve and on the collar, are short; whereas the pedicels of the more distant glands are much elongated and project inwards.
It is, perhaps, owing to the exterior pedicels being much flattened that they do not bend quite so accurately to the point of excitement as the [page 247] more central ones.
The following observations apply both to the glands supported on [page 338] pedicels and to the minute sessile ones.
The pedicels are formed of several rows of cells, and support rather large globular heads, secreting viscid matter, by which minute insects are occasionally, though rarely, caught.
Strips of the rind of a flower-stem were torn off, and the cells of the pedicels were seen to contain only colourless transparent fluid; those of the glands including as usual some granular matter.
It can be observed much more distinctly in the upper cells of the pedicels than within the glands, as these are somewhat opaque.

The pedicels of the second and third cirri have dorsal tufts of spines, but not a hairy plate prolonged over the thorax.
A shield-like swelling at the exterior bases of these pedicelsoften appears like another segment; but such, I believe, is not its nature.
The bristles on the pedicels follow the same arrangement as on the rami; namely, being in regular pairs on the posterior cirri, and crowded thickly, like a brush, on the anterior cirri.
The probosciformed penis, which at first equals only the pedicels of the posterior cirri in length, and is apparently imperforate, has to increase greatly in length.
On the front surfaces of the pedicels there are two or three pairs of spines.
Xenobalanus: in this latter genus, the front surfaces of the segments of the pedicels (fig.
Besides the muscles now mentioned, there are some immediately to be noticed, which extend from within the thoracic segments to within the pedicels of the cirri.
The pedicels all start from the same level on the peduncle.
A compound raceme--a raceme the pedicels of which are themselves branched.
