0 a connecting part shaped like a stem, especially the bundles of nerves connecting parts of the brain:
the cerebral peduncles
A subsample of 20 randomly chosen plants was partitioned into stem, leaf, petiole, peduncle and fruit components and oven dried.
In both cases, the infloresences are generally similar in size except for the peduncles of the male inflorescences which are longer than the female's.
The caudal peduncle is very short and deep.
It lies within the dorsal peduncle of the lateral forebrain bundle and has circuitry similar to that of mammals.
Panicles harvested for seed are kept separately in the granary and may be left with longer peduncles for identification.
However, an increase in the heaving amplitude of the peduncle decrcases the value of the optimum sweep until the latter becomes zero.
For samaras shredded into pieces, we counted the number of peduncles in the collection.
In the chiropterophilous species the capitula are much larger and typically borne on long, pendent peduncles arranged in little-branched inflorescences.
