Abstract
To determine the precise morphological structure of compound bud in one axil of Armeniaca mume, we observed their development and anatomy in detail. A small bud was initiated in the axil of a scale-like prophyll of main axillary bud subtended by a foliage leaf. The small bud developed and was added to the main one to form the compound bud. This indicates the additional bud in the axil in Armeniaca mume is not an accessory bud, but independent of the main axillary bud. We concluded that the morphological homology in the structure of compound bud between Armeniaca mume and Amygdalus persica.
