helicoid's Usage Examples:

In the helicoid cyme there is also a false axis formed by the basal portion of the separate axes, but the flowers are not placed in a double row, but in a single row, and form a spiral or helix round the false axis.

In the other, the uniserial type (fig.16), the buds are formed always on the same side, forming a " helicoid cyme," as in Hydrallmania, according to H.

Helicoid Cyme (axes forming a spiral).

The uniparous cyme presents two forms, the scorpioid or cicinal and the helicoid or bostrychoid.

- Helicoid cyme of a species of Alstroemeria.

Neither the rotation of the shell as a whole nor its helicoid spiral coiling is the immediate cause of the torsion of the body in the individual, for the direction of the torsion is indicated in the segmentation of the ovum, in which there is a complete A B From Lankester's Treatise on Zoology.

The supposed hydrothecae may be present on one side of the axis only (monoprionid) or on both sides (diprionid); the first case may be conjectured to be the result of uniserial (helicoid) budding, the second to be produced by biserial (scorpioid) budding.
