Day 27
Day 27. One of the buds at the terminal will become another (the fifth) trifoliate leaf. The other bud(s) will eventually become flowers (see Part 2). Towards the base of the plant, one of the axillary buds of the first trifoliate leaf has expanded to produce a new stem (arrow).
Figure 34. Fifth trifoliate leaf. The buds at the terminal of the stem will swell and produce the fifth trifoliate leaf, the new terminal, and flowers. Towards the base of the plant, one of the axillary buds of the third trifoliate leaf has expanded to produce a new stem (arrow). Credit: E.T. Paparozzi and M.E. Conley
