The axillary buds present in the tea 2 may develop generating tea 1, frequently in the distal leaves. The axillary bud of the prophyll of tea 2 rarely develops a new branch. This enrichment axis displays, beyond the prophyll, a variable number of leaves while the number of leaves in the tea 1 is limited to its unique prophyll. The most conspicuous characteristic of the pistillate synflorescence is the combination of the reduced terminal inflorescence (= one pistillate spikelet) and the set of distal tea 1 (Fig. 1 A). Because of its prophyllar ramification and short internodes, each set of tea 1 constitutes a dense, flabellate cluster of lateral pistillate inflorescences reduced to a single spikelet. Only one of these spikelets originates from an axillary bud of a leaf borne on the main axis (= primary branch). The rest of the lateral spikelets have a prophyllar origin. The staminate synflorescence displays only one type of trophotagma enrichment axis, similar to the tea 1 of the pistillate synflorescence (Fig. 1 E – G). These trophotagma enrichment axes (tea) do not develop leaves beyond the prophyll. The staminate tea presents a prophyll and ends in a spike of staminate spikelets (= lateral inflorescence). The tea are generated in the distal leaves within the long internode zone, even in the flag leaf. In fact, some specimens exhibit trophotagma enrichment axes only in the flag leaf, while others in the two or three distal leaves. When these tea develop branches, they do it from the axillary bud of the prophyll (Fig. 1 F, G). Some specimens show tea ramification of third order. Above the flag leaf, the internode of the main shoot elongates ending with a staminate terminal inflorescence (Fig. 1 E – G).	en	Muchut, Sebastián E., Reutemann, Andrea G., Uberti-Manassero, Nora G., Vegetti, Abelardo C.
