Leaf axils

Ilex paraguariensis var. genuina is an evergreen tree that grows to a height of 20 to 30 m unattended but under cultivation is kept at 4 to 6 m. The leaves are oval or elliptical, 3 to 20 cm in length, 2 to 9 cm in width, dark green in color. Flowers form in the leaf axils and at the base of the small branches. They bear four or five petals and produce a small fruit in racemes that usually contain four seeds.1... 

This Insect lays Its eggs In late summer In silts In leaf axils and twigs. They hatch in mid-spring. Nymphs (the young) feed on growing points and young shoots from late spring onward. 

Symptoms Severe infestations on young growing shoots can weaken plants. Wax-covered colonies are often found in leaf axils and on cactus spines. Leaves may be covered in sticky honeydew. This may in turn be covered in black sooty mold. 

The dart-poison frog Dendrobatespumilio uses odors for homing. This species lives in the understory of lowland tropical forests in Central America. The eggs are laid on land, and the female carries the newly hatched tadpoles on her back to water-filled leaf axils of bromeliads. She feeds the tadpoles with unfertilized eggs, while the male defends the territory. Captive dart-poison frogs tested in a Y-olfactometer chose the odor from their own communal tank over odors from tanks planted with different plants. However, they did not distinguish between... 

Features Stem one to two feet high, freely branched, square, smoothish. Leaves stalked, opposite, broadly ovate, coarsely serrate, wrinkled, hairy. Numerous small, white or yellowish flowers, in loose bunches from leaf axils. Roots long, slender, creeping. Taste and odour of lemon. 

The sunflower budworm or bud moth (Suleima helianthana Riley), considered a minor pest of the sunflower in which damage is sporadic, also feeds on the Jerusalem artichoke (Pedraza-Martinez, 1990 Rogers, 1979). In North America, the insect is found from Maryland to California and south to Mexico. Damage is caused by larval feeding, typically on the apical bud or axils of upper leaves, producing distorted, misshapen plants. Young larvae act as leaf miners or enter a leaf rib, while older larvae enter and feed on buds, leaf axils, stems, and bracts. 

The racemose inflorescences, short-lived flowers, arise successively on short peduncles from the leaf axils or scales (Weiss, 2002). The small lily-like, greenish-yellow vanilla flowers, 3.6 x 5.2 cm long, develop in axillary racemes (Woebse, 1963). There may be 20-100 flowers on a single raceme. Each flower opens up in the morning and closes late in the afternoon, never to re-open... 

Second flowering inspection of the shoots (especially the leaf axils) for leaf suckers and anthocorid bugs at any stage of development. 

Broadleaf seedlings have two leaves as they emerge from the seed. Their leaves are generally broad with netlike veins. Broadleaves usually have a taproot and a relatively coarse root system. All actively growing broadleaf plants have exposed growing points at the end of each stem and in each leaf axil. Perennial broadleaf plants may also have growing points on roots and stems above and below the surface of the soil. Broadleaves contain species with annual, biennial, and perennial life cycles. 

An axillary or lateral-hMA is one which arises in the leaf axil. It is capable of giving rise to a side branch or to a flower. Occasionally axillary buds do not develop and are then called dormant buds. 

An accessory bud is an extra bud which forms in or near the leaf axil.

Branching of a plant occurs when lateral buds, which become dormant shortly after formation in the leaf axil, lose their dormaney and resumed growing. Lateral buds tend to remain dormant as long as the apical bud is active and growing apical dominance), but... 

Description Herbaceous perennial. Stems single or multiple, 40-150 cm taU, tomentose. Basal leaves 3-5-lobed cauline leaves with rounded or cordate base and acuminate apex, margins coarsely serrate. Flowers up to 3 cm across, clustered in leaf axils. Epicalyx with 8-12 segments. CoroUa pale-pink with 5 petals. Fruit a disc-shaped schizocarp, with 15-25 small, laterally flattened mericarps. Seeds kidney-shaped. 

Granular formulations are ideal for control of insect larvae that feed in the leaf axils, where granules remained. In general, natural polymers can be... 

In a study of an isopod Armadillidium vulgare) in California, Paris and Sikora (196S) tagged the forbs, Vida sativa, Silybum mariammy and Picris echioides, each in separate plots, with H3 P04 in leaf axils with a capillary pipette. Periodic samples of plants and isopods were collected and analy for radioactivity with a GM detector. The investigators concluded that it was feasible to use radiotracers in a study of trophic relationships in these cryptozoans. 

However, rhizoids may also develop from scattered positions on the stem (e.g., in many Calliergonaceae), from around branch primordia, or from the stem just above the leaf axils, axillary rhizoids (e.g., in many Plagiotheciaceae). This means that they have their origin in cell I (Figure...

Brood branches are much smaller than ordinary branches and are easily broken off. They are usually clustered in leaf axils just below the stem apex. They are always a result of monopodial branching.
