=Axillary prolification= is the term applied to those cases wherein one
or more adventitious buds spring from the axils of one or more of the
parts of the flower. Engelmann makes use of the word ecblastesis to
denote the same condition. Both terms are open to the objection that
they do not clearly enable us to distinguish prolification occurring
within the flower from a similar state originating outside the flower,
within the bracts of the inflorescence. This latter condition, called by
Moquin-Tandon lateral prolification (see Prolification of the
Inflorescence), is as truly axillary as that to which the name is
restricted. In consequence of certain peculiarities in the structure of
some flowers, to be hereafter alluded to, it is not in all cases easy to
decide whether the new growth springs from the interior of the flower,
or from the inflorescence beneath the flower.
The accessory bud presents itself as a leaf-bud, a branch, a flower-bud,
or a miniature inflorescence; it may be sessile, but is far more
frequently stalked, and in more than
