Abstract

Manning, Wayne E. (Bucknell U., Lewisburg, Pa.) Branched pistillate inflorescences in Juglans and Carya. Amer. Jour. Bot. 49(9): 975–977. Illus. 1962.—One or 2 clusters of abortive pistillate flowers or of short, slender branches of abortive perfect flowers are occasionally found at the base of the terminal pistillate spike in certain species of Juglans and Carya. These make the pistillate inflorescence a branched one, essentially a small panicle. These flower clusters and special branches are considered to be due to the retention of a primitive condition, probably a pre‐juglandaceous one.
