Other areoles of the flower and fruit of this opuntia have quite an opposite fate. In these the axial bud does not develop continuously, but (after devel- oping a considerable number of trichomes and spicules and a few nectaries) rests till the next growing-season, or sometimes for three or four seasons, before renewing its development. THE FRUIT OF OPUNTIA FTJLGIDA. 37 PROLIFERATION OF PERSISTENT ATTACHED FRUITS. While certain of the upper areoles of a flower may, as we have seen, develop at o...nce into secondary flowers which open soon after the primary one, other areoles of the same or another flower may practically cease growth with the opening of the flower and persist over one or more winters as resting buds. These buds, retaining their capacity for further development, may give rise, in the succeeding or a later spring, to the primary flowers of that season (fig. 4, 7c). Such flowers may arise from any of the 4 or 5 younger fruits of a chain (fig. 4). The development of these flowers, arising from resting buds of persistent fruits, is identical with that of flowers arising from the areoles of flower- buds, and the fruits formed in the two cases can not be distinguished.
