Abstract: | The structure of shoots, in particular of winter buds, ofHydrangea macrophylla was examined. The non-flower-bearing shoot is usually composed of a lower and an upper part, between which a boundary is
discernible by means of a distinctly short internode. This internode is the lowermost of the upper part, and it is usually
shorter than the internodes immediately above and below, although the internodes tend to shorten successively from the proximal
to the distal part of the shoot. Variations exist in the following characters among the terminal bud, the axillary bud on
the lower part of the shoot and the axillary bud on the upper part: (1) length of bud; (2) character of the outermost pair
of leaf primordia; (3) degree of development of secondary buds in the winter bud; and (4) the number of leaf primordia. Usually,
the terminal bud contains several pairs of foliage leaf primordia with a primordial inflorescence at the terminal of the bud,
but the axiallary bud contains only the primordia of foliage leaves in addition to a pair of bud scales. |
