architecture |
flower, androecium |

architecture |
|

sympodial |
|
architecture |
axes |
Branching laterally, each axis of each apparent order of branches comprising a series of laterally derived segments each of which functioned in turn as the distal leader, the apical meristem of each segment dominant until supplanted by that of the next. See also monopodial. |
