The active principles of the branchlet and hook of Uncaria sinensis Oliv.
|
|
Each branch and branchlet is terminated by a lengthening raceme of flowers.
|
|
Force growth upward by cutting just beyond an upward-growing branchlet or bud.
|
|
The length of the branchlet is much influenced by different soils and climates.
|
|
Here we introduce a new procedure, branchlet shaking, and compare it with chemical knockdown.
|
|
The perfect multinodal branchlet is formed in the winter-bud and the spring-shoot is multinodal.
|
|
The angle at which the bud stands out from the branchlet is of some taxonomic value.
|
|
Overlap one branchlet or bundle over the cut ends of the last to hide them and the wire.
|
|
The small flower clusters are borne in the centre of the branchlets, or on one side of the branchlet.
|
|
Probably, though, in this instance he included every branch and branchlet that led the water amongst the cultivated lands.
|
|
An erect shrub with 2-4 flowers held erect in leaf axils at branchlet apex. Flowers in July and August.
|
|
The leaves are little evergreen scales, which overlap, and being closely pressed to the branchlet, completely clothe and hide it.
|
|
The cones are very small, about a half inch in length, growing singly from the lower side of the branchlet.
|
|
The fungus of the Poppy is very much more branched than that of the Potato, and every minute branchlet carries a spore.
|
|
They are usually aromatic, with glandular pits on the outer surface, and cover the stem in opposite pairs, giving the branchlet a four-sided appearance.
|
|
The little, tender balls which you found near the young bud at the end of the branchlet is a new cone just started this year.
|
|
Its bark is colored pale grey or grey-green and is smooth, but sometimes retains remnants of leaf scars. Branchlets are to in length by in width. They are covered with paired often curved spines that measure long to in diameter at the base of the branchlet. Its basal (lower) part of the branchlet is conical and laterally compressed at 0.33 to 0.66 times the spine's length.
|
|
Short, horizontal, or slightly drooping branches bear dense branchlet systems in flattened sprays that appear bright green on the upper side and dark waxy green beneath.
|
|
After plucking a fruit from a branchlet, they move to a larger branch, remove the pulp, hammer the seed coat open with the bill, and extract and eat the embryo and endosperm.
|
|
The pungent shrub typically grows to a height of and has an open and spreading habit with sparely pilose and hairy branchlet with pungent stipules that are in length. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The pungent, glabrous and evergreen phyllodes have an obtrinagular to obdeltate to shallowly obtriangular shape that are contiguous with the branchlet. The phyllodes have a length of and a width of and have a midrib near the abaxial margin.
|
|
The hindwings are grey. The larvae feed on Juniperus scopulorum. They mine the leaves and stem of their host plant. The mine starts at the tip a branchlet, in the direction of the base.
|
|
Like other lichens in the genus Cladonia, the fruiting body of C. furcata is made of a flattened primary thallus and a secondary upright stalk that forms the secondary thallus. The secondary thallus – the podetium – is extensively branched, and may reach up to tall. The podetia ranges in color from grayish or pale green to brown. The axil, the inner junction of a branchlet with a branch or with another branchlet, is open, with inrolled branches, and frequently with a longitudinal groove that extends down the podetium from the axil.
|
|
Shiny green above, duller below with some brown hairs. The compound leaf stalk is brown and hairy, swollen where it joins the branchlet. Leaflet stalks are between 3 and 12 mm long. Leaf veins raised on both sides.
|
|
The shrub typically grows to a height of . The pinnae form in pairs along the branchlet. The proximal pinnae are in length while the distal are long. It blooms from May to November and produces cream-yellow flowers.
|
|
The leaf blade is inrolled from the margin on the upper surface. Stems are rigid and erect. Branchlets containing the flowering heads emerge from axils at the main bracts. This branchlet has a spike-like arrangement of numerous, yellow or brown, clusters of flowerheads.
|
|
Small branches are also dark brown or purplish black, more green towards the end. Leaves opposite on the stem, or occasionally in threes. 6 to 18 cm long, 1.8 to 4 cm wide. The leaf shape tapers to the leaf stalk where it joins the branchlet.
|
|
A twig is frequently referred to as a sprig as well, especially when it has been plucked."sprig" on Encarta. Other words for twig include branchlet, spray, and surcle, as well as the technical terms surculus and ramulus. Branches found under larger branches can be called underbranches.
|
|
Each branchlet is short, bulbous, with filaments being 20-42 μm, somewhat shorter than the foots, which are 2-4 μm wide. The short, bulbous branchlets on the multi-branched upper part of the foots are unique among the Phyllactinia and are a distinguishing taxonomic characteristic of this species.
|
|
Evergreen trees with lauroid leaves subopposite or alternate, or clustered at apex of branchlet, pinninerved. Panicle axillary, pedunculate, bracteate or ebracteate; bracts and bracteoles subulate, minute, caducous. Small flowers bisexual, pedicellate, 2-merous. Perianth tube obconical; perianth 4 or 5 or 6 lobes, broadly ovate-triangular or transversely oblong, small; perianth wholly deciduous.
|
|
The intricate shrub has an erect or sprawling habit with many branches. It typically grows to a height of but can reach up to around . It has green glabrous branchlets. The phyllodes are continuous with the branchlets, splitting to form opposing wings along the branchlet with each one extending to the next underneath.
|
|
Hakea lorea grows as a gnarled tree to high, or shrub from high and forms a lignotuber.

|
|
Oval to spherical in shape, this is from 5 to 9 centimetres (2–4 in) long, and occurs on a short, lateral branchlet arising from an older branch. After flowering, the styles wither but do not fall, giving the infructescence a hairy appearance. Infructescences may contain up to 70 follicles, each with two small winged seeds.
|
|
Cones form on slender fruiting branchlets that are solitary from one another. Both the male and female cones form on the same tree. With the male cones appearing on the end of branchlets at a size of 2-3mm long. While the female cones form on a branchlet that have a waxy, greyish-blue coloring during its development.
|
|
The leaves are fan shaped and measure about . Male and female flowers are produced on separate trees. The inflorescences are similar in general appearance, up to about long, branching irregularly and with two or three spikes arising from each branchlet. Female trees produce large woody fruits, each containing a single seed, that remain on the tree for a long period.

Hexachara is derived from Greek "hex", meaning six, a reference to the hexaradial symmetry; chara, referring to membership of the Charales. The specific name setacea is derived from Latin "seta", a bristle, that is a reference to the thin pointed branchlet. The specific name riniensis is derived from Xhosa word, "Rini", which is a traditional name for Grahamstown/Makhanda and the surrounding valley.

The leaves themselves are glossy on the adaxial surface, i.e. the upper-side, and a deep yellowish-green to dark green in colour. They are borne almost horizontally from the branchlet. They are the longest leaves in the genus, typically measuring 3.5 to 12.5 cm, though they can be as short as 1.5 cm, by 3.2 to 5 mm wide, though they sometimes are as narrow as 1.5 mm.
|
|
Initially white, in age both the stem and branches turn pale yellow to buff to tan. Old fruit bodies can fade to become almost white, or may be ochre due to fallen spores. The branching pattern is irregular, with the primary branches few and thick—typically —and the final branches slender (2–3 mm), and usually terminated with five to seven branchlets. The branchlet tips are pink to purplish-red.

|
The tropical banksia is generally a small tree which grows to around or sometimes tall, with a rough stocky trunk, spreading crown, and crooked branches. The dark grey bark is not flaky but tesselated in texture and appearance. Initially covered in reddish hair that wears away, branchlets become smooth and grey with age. The large green leaves are scattered along the stems, and more crowded at the branchlet tips.
|
|
The leaves are generally long and wide, and the petioles, or leaf stalks, are generally long. The buds of Psidium galapageium are pear-shaped or "pyriform" and connected to the base of the branchlet, extending about out. The bud is glabrous except for a minute hole at the apex with a few trichomes protruding outward. Flowers of Psidium galapageium are white, occur on branches of recent growth, and are relatively small, being in diameter.

Eocene (Ypresian) age M. occidentalis branchlet The fossil of this genus was discovered by Shigeru Miki in 1939. In 1941, Miki published the description of the fossil plant which he gave the name "Metasequoia". In the winter of the same year, a Chinese botanist Toh Gan (干铎） discovered an unusual big tree in Modaoxi (磨刀溪; presently, Moudao (谋道), in Lichuan County, Hubei In LePage et al (2005). ). The locals called this tree shui-sha (水桫).

The nodes in H. setacea bear whorls with diameters of about 6 mm and consisting of six radial branches and each branch encompasses a short stalk that gives rise to at least one slender pointed branchlet and carries an oogonium . The compact tips of H. setacea often formed small ‘rollers’, following fragmentation of axes. These are commonly enclosed by an organic ‘halo’, interpreted as a film of green algae utilizing the charophyte as an attachment substratum .A short axis bearing Hexachara setacea whorls.

The subsection Hadrotes contains ten species of which eight do not have oil glands in the branchlet pith. Together these eight species form series Lehmannianae, a group that have fruit with exserted valves that have fused tips even after the seeds are lost, a feature also shared with the distantly related Eucalyptus cornuta. Of the eight species in series Lehmannianae four species; E. conferruminata, E. lehmannii, E. mcquoidii and E. arborella all have the buds in each an axillary cluster that is fused basally.

Often plant fossils are isolated parts such as leaves or seeds, which makes it difficult to identify relationships to other isolated parts. Such fossils from the same species are described as morphospecies. "Rosetta Stone" fossils are rare cases of multiple portions of a fossil preserved in connection. The holotype of Paraconcavistylon has been described as a Rosetta Stone fossil as it bears an infructescence attached to branchlet that also has leaves and terminal buds connected, allowing for a fuller plant description than is usually possible.

Prostanthera clotteniana is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of with hairy, stems. The leaves are narrow elliptic to narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, dull green, long and wide on a petiole long. The flowers are arranged singly in two to four leaf axils near the ends of branchlet, each flower with bracteoles long near the base of the sepals. The sepals form a tube long with two lobes, the lower lobe long and the upper lobe long.
|
|
On older trees, the bark presents longitudinal fissures and becomes aromatic. The leaves are arranged in flattened branchlet systems, with the branchlets in one plane. The leaves on adult trees are in opposite decussate pairs, the alternating pairs not evenly spaced so appearing as whorls of 4 at the same level; they are sub- acute, about 2–5 mm long, glossy green above, and with white stomatal bands below. The lateral leaves are ovate and compressed, and facial leaves are oblanceolate with a triangular apex.

The teeth are non-glandular and each primary tooth is supplied by a secondary vein and each subsidiary tooth by a secondary vein branchlet. The leaves are pinnately veined with a thin midvein from which the secondary veins alternately or oppositely branch off between 40 – 80°. There are between 7 and 13 secondary veins that run parallel to each other and curve upwards near the tips before terminating in the teeth. As the secondaries approach the margin they produce up to 7 branches from the abaxial side, each of which supply subsidiary teeth.

In H. riniensis the laterals divide at about one-half of their length into smaller whorls each of which bears six oogonia and the internodes are uncorticated, and about 0.3 mm in diameter. The nodes bear whorls, about 8 mm in diameter, that consist of six radial laterals. Each lateral divides at about one-half of its length to give rise to a secondary hexaradial whorl each branchlet of which carries an oogonium. H. riniensis has a very small oogonia attached to the ends of branchlets of secondary whorls and surrounded by extremely fine hair-like tertiary branchlets.

329x329px Young cones of a Blue Spruce The members of the pine family (pines, spruces, firs, cedars, larches, etc.) have cones that are imbricate (that is, with scales overlapping each other like fish scales). These pine cones, especially the woody female cones, are considered the "archetypal" tree cones. The female cone has two types of scale: the bract scales, and the seed scales (or ovuliferous scales), one subtended by each bract scale, derived from a highly modified branchlet. On the upper-side base of each seed scale are two ovules that develop into seeds after fertilization by pollen grains.

Eucalyptus lehmannii belongs in Eucalyptus subgenus Symphyomyrtus, section Bisectae, subsection Hadrotes because of its coarsely bisected cotyledons, erect stamens and larger, thick- rimmed fruits. The subsection Hadrotes contains ten species of which eight do not have oil glands in the branchlet pith. Together these eight species form series Lehmannianae, a group that has fruit with exserted valves that have fused tips even after the seeds are lost, a feature also shared with the distantly related Eucalyptus cornuta. Of the eight species in series Lehmannianae, four species (Eucalyptus lehmannii, E. conferruminata, E. mcquoidii and E. arborella) have the buds in each axillary cluster, fused basally.

The plant appears as monoecious shrubs or small trees ranging from 0.5 to 9 meters, with its trunk reaching up to 2.1 meters with a diameter of up to 25 cm. The bark is rough and greyish-brown, with the asymmetrical leaves being distichous numbering between 20 and 70 leaves per branchlet. P. balgooyi produces 3-lobed, capsular greenish-brown or greenish-yellow fruits. The size of P. balgooyi varies depending on location, with populations in the Philippines being shorter than 1.5 meters while a specimen in Sabah was recorded to be 9 meters high, and researchers have proposed the separation of the species into multiple subspecies depending on morphology and ecology.

Male cone of Cedar of Lebanon Larch cone with unusual branch growth from tip For most species found in Australia, male and female cones occur on the same plant (tree or shrub), with female usually on the higher branches towards the top of the plant. This distribution is thought to improve chances of cross-fertilization, as pollen is unlikely to be blown vertically upward within the crown of one plant, but can drift slowly upward in the wind, blowing from low on one plant to higher on another plant. In some conifers, male cones additionally often grow clustered in large numbers together, while female cones are more often produced singly or in only small clusters. A further characteristic arrangement of pines is that the male cones are located at the base of the branch, while the female at the tip (of the same or a different branchlet).
