220. Wherever there are bracts or leaves, buds may be produced from their axils and appear as flowers. Fig. 212 represents the case where the branches, _b b_, of Fig. 211, each with a pair of small leaves or bracts about their middle, have branched again, and produced the branchlets and flowers _c c_, on each side. It is the continued repetition of this which forms the full or compound cyme, such as that of the Laurestinus, Hobble-bush, Dogwood, and Hydrangea (Fig. 214). [Illustration: Fig. 214. Compound cyme of Hydrangea arborescens, with neutral enlarged flowers round the circumference.] 221. =A Fascicle= (meaning a bundle), like that of the Sweet William and Lychnis of the gardens, is only a cyme with the flowers much crowded. 222. =A Glomerule= is a cyme still more compacted, so as to imitate a head. It may be known from a true head by the flowers not expanding centripetally, that is, not from the circumference towards the centre. 223. The illustrations of determinate or _cymose_ inflorescence have been taken from plants with opposite leaves, which give rise to the most regular cymes. But the Rose, Cinquefoil, Buttercup, etc., with alternate leaves, furnish also good examples of cymose inflorescence. 224. =A Cymule= (or diminutive cyme) is either a reduced small cyme of few flowers, or a branch of a compound cyme, i. e. a partial cyme. 225. =Scorpioid= or =Helicoid Cymes=, of various sorts, are forms of determinate inflorescence (often puzzling to the student) in which one half of the ramification fails to appear. So that they may be called _incomplete cymes_. The commoner forms may be understood by comparing a complete cyme, like that of Fig. 215 with Fig. 216, the diagram of a cyme of an opposite-leaved plant, having a series of terminal flowers and the axis continued by the development of a branch in the axil of only one of the leaves at each node. The dotted lines on the left indicate the place of the wanting branches, which if present would convert this _scorpioid cyme_ into the complete one of Fig. 215. Fig. 217 is a diagram of similar inflorescence with alternate leaves. Both are kinds of _false racemes_ (219). When the bracts are also wanting in such cases, as in many Borragineous plants, the true nature of the inflorescence is very much disguised. [Illustration: Fig. 215. A complete forking cyme of an Arenaria, or Chickweed.] [Illustration: Fig. 216. Diagram of a scorpioid cyme, with opposite leaves or bracts.] [Illustration: Fig. 217. Diagram of analogous scorpioid cyme, with alternate leaves or bracts.]
