![f ] .(trifolium and gomphrena) fhew this kind of Inflorefcence ; it is diftinguifhed into various kinds by its fhape and other circumftances. Sweet William (dianthus barbatus) has its flowers in that fpecies of head, which is called a fafcicle, though I think that the mode, in which the flowers of fweet william are put together, places it more properly un- der the term corymbe than Head; but I al- ways diflent from Linneus with great diffi- dence. The Spike has its flowers placed al- ternately round a common fimple peduncle, without any partial ones, which is called be- ing feflile, or fitting clofe on the ftem. Many of the graffes have their flowers in Spikes; it is called bne-ranked, or a Angle rowed fpike, when the flowers are all turned one way following each other; a double-rowed fpike, or two-ranked, when the flowers ftand point- ing two ways, as in darnel (lolium). The Spike, like the Head, is diilinguifiied into various kinds by its ffiape, and other va- rieties. The Corymbe is formed by the par- tial peduncles produced along the common ftalk on both fides, which, though of un- - equal lengths, rife to the fame height, fo as to form a fiat and even furface at top.
