The buds that spring from the inner angle of the leaf with the stem are axillary buds; those that crown the stems are terminal.

When the terminal bud is thus prevented from continuing its growth, the nearest axillary buds are developed.

The tendency of the Horsechestnut to have its growth carried on by the terminal buds is so strong that I almost feel inclined to say that vigorous branches are never formed from axillary buds, in old trees, except where the terminal bud has been prevented from continuing the branch.

I suppose the reason must be that the flower-cluster does not use all the nourishment provided and that therefore the axillary buds are able to develop.

In every bud examined which contained a flower, there was an axillary bud in the axil of the last, or next to the last, leaf.

The axillary buds seldom grow unless the terminal bud is interrupted.

After about six pairs are removed, we come, in the larger buds, to leaves with axillary flower-clusters.

The terminal bud in the Lilac does not usually develop, and the two uppermost axillary buds take its place, giving to the shrub the forked character of its branching.

In some trees, as the Ash, the axillary buds make a large growth, and the succeeding terminal buds carry on the branch much more slowly; in other trees, as the Cherry, a branch grows very slowly in the first few years and then suddenly takes a start.

Both the terminal and axillary buds grow freely, thus forming long, straight limbs, with many branches and much fine spray.

The terminal buds do not develop in the Elm, in old trees, the bud axillary to the last leaf of the season taking its place, and most of the other axillary buds growing also.

The terminal buds do not develop in the Elm, in old trees, the bud axillary to the last leaf of the season taking its place, and most of the other axillary buds growing also.

The buds are pointed: the terminal slightly angled, the axillary flattened against the stem.

The axillary buds have a short thick scale on the outer part of the bud, then about three pairs of large scales, each succeeding one enwrapping those within, the outer one brown and leathery.

Axillary buds are often found within.

The buds are terminal, and axillary, from the axils of the leaves of the preceding year, usually from those at the ends of the branchlets.

The axillary buds develop near the ends of the branchlets, forming apparent whorls of branches around the trunk.

The flowers are axillary and clustered, and are succeeded by pretty, silvery-ribbed berries.

This is of much smaller growth than the following, rarely rising to a greater height than about half a foot, with lanceolate, serrated leaves, and pendulous axillary clusters of white flowers.

A native of Asiatic Russia (1779), having silvery foliage, and pink or purplish-pink flowers, axillary or fascicled.

Flowers bright red, and produced in axillary racemes.

They are produced both terminal and axillary, and in fair abundance.

An indigenous species, with oblong, doubly-serrated leaves, and terminal or axillary racemes of pure-white flowers.

The flowers are pale pink edged with a deeper tint, about an inch across, and borne in terminal and axillary clusters.

They are borne in axillary clusters from buds developed in the previous autumn, and are very welcome in spring, long before the others come into bloom.
