multinodal

Whereas Dick Cheney and the neocons once thought we could become a hyperpower, disdaining anything multilateral and stifling emerging powers, Admiral Mullen sketches a fresh strategy he calls "multinodal" for an era of shifting alliances and emerging powers.

The multinodal spring-shoot, however, has a certain correlative value in its relation to other evolutionary processes that are obvious in the genus.

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

On multinodal shoots they are often multiserial, appearing on two or more nodes of the same spring-shoot (fig. 33).

Also the multinodal spring-shoot first appears here and is gradually developed among the species, absent in Nos. 37-39, sometimes present in Nos. 40-43, and prevalent in Nos.

Associated with the latter are the persistent cone and the multinodal spring-shoot.

New forms, however, are gradually evolved -- the seed with a thick wing-blade, the indurated oblique cone, the serotinous cone with its intermittent seed-release, and the multinodal spring-shoot.

Spring-shoots conspicuously pruinose, uninodal or not infrequently multinodal.

The ray-pits are small and the spring-shoots are, with two exceptions, multinodal.

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

On uninodal shoots they are necessarily subterminal (fig. 34), the lateral pistillate flower being possible only on multinodal shoots (fig. 35) where it is often associated with the subterminal flower (fig. 33).

The Genus Pinus George Russell Shaw 1892

On multinodal branchlets the inner nodes bear lateral buds which may be latent.
