A small stalk bearing a single flower of an inflorescence

Usage examples of pedicel.

Besides the glands, both surfaces of the leaves and the pedicels of the tentacles bear numerous minute papillae, which absorb carbonate of ammonia, an infusion of raw meat, metallic salts, and probably many other substances, but the absorption of matter by these papillae never induces inflection.

In old leaves, however, especially in those which have been several times in action, the protoplasm in the uppermost cells of the pedicels remains in a permanently more or less aggregated condition.

The two segments forming the pedicels of the glands probably answer to the conical protuberance and short footstalk of the quadrifid and bifid processes.

The pedicel is somewhat flattened, and is formed of several rows of elongated cells, filled with purple fluid or granular matter.

Their glands are much elongated, and lie embedded on the upper surface of the pedicel, instead of standing at the apex.

But by being thus spread out, and from the cells of the disc not being so much elongated as those of the tentacles, it loses force, and here travels much more slowly than down the pedicels.

The pedicels consist of single elongated cells, with colourless, extremely delicate walls, marked with the finest intersecting spiral lines.

I observed that the protoplasm had shrunk a little from the walls of the single elongated cells forming the pedicels.

The pedicel itself is formed of an elongated cell, surmounted by a short one.

I sliced between sclerites, stabbed through the pedicel waist of an Insect on top of her, kicked it aside and picked her up.

No distinct line of demarcation can be drawn between the pedicels of the long terminal tentacles and the much attenuated summits of the leaves.

The bilobed leaf appears also to be rather larger and somewhat broader, with the pedicel by which it is attached to the upper end of the petiole a little longer.

If the tentacles of a young, yet fully matured leaf, that has never been excited or become inflected, be examined, the cells forming the pedicels are seen to be filled with homogeneous, purple fluid.

After the protoplasm in a tentacle has been aggregated, its redissolution always begins in the lower part, and slowly travels up the pedicel to the gland, so that the protoplasm last aggregated is first redissolved.

But the sessile glands differ in one important respect, for they never secrete spontaneously, as far as I have seen, though I have examined them under a high power on a hot day, whilst the glands on pedicels were secreting copiously.
