Abstract
IN some flowering plants, buds do not occur randomly, nor in the axil of every leaf, but in rather specific patterns. In the aquatic plant Hydrocharis morsus-ranae L., as has long been known1–3, two vegetative buds occur in the axil of every second leaf. (The second bud is formed laterally on the first.) In an investigation, of growth and morphogenesis in this plant, this regular pattern of organogenesis has been modified in two ways.
