So also among plants with indefinite inflorescence, prolification seems very frequently to affect those wherein the axis is normally prolonged; thus it is common in _Dictamnus_, which plant has an internode supporting the pistil; it is frequent among _Umbelliferæ_, where the carpophore may be truly considered an axile production; it is common among _Rosaceæ_ and _Ranunculaceæ_, in many of which the axis or thalamus is well-marked, and it is by no means infrequent in the flowers of the Orange, where the floral internodes are also slightly elongated; on the other hand, there is no case on record in _Magnoliaceæ_, and some other orders where the floral part of the axis is at some point or other elongated; still, on the whole, there can be but little doubt that there is a real relation between prolification and the normal extension of the floral internodes.— Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants
