Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation The main axis of young Terminalia superba showed periodical regular variations in growth, with rest periods.
- Association Dates of outbreak of new units on branches seemed relatively independent of variations in shoot growth rate.
- Observation The developmental pattern ended in a stratified branch system in young Terminalia superba, comparable to that of adult plants in their natural environment.
