If McCain's brain was x-rayed, it would reveal Obama sitting comfortably upon McCain's cerebral peduncles. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Floating-leaved species are ordinarily fertilized in the same manner as emergents, with their chief adaptation to the aquatic environment being the production of long peduncles (flower stalks) capable of lifting the flower above the water (e.g. Nymphaea). ❋ Unknown (2007)
These peduncles must often be longer than the depth of the water to accommodate changes in water level and water velocity (in flowing waters). ❋ Unknown (2007)
M. O'BRIEN: Very good peduncles in Rhode Island, yes. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The hypothesis that actinistians are the sister group of lungfishes is the most corroborated, based on five possible synapomorphies: presence of a superficial isthmal nucleus, a laminated dorsal thalamus with marked protrusion into the third ventricle, olfactory peduncles, evaginated cerebral hemispheres with pronounced septum ependymale, and electroreceptive rostral organs. ❋ Unknown (2005)
ALOPECUROIDEUM, with heads of flowers nearly five inches long; an eucalyptus near E. PULVERULENTA, but having more slender peduncles; ❋ Unknown (2003)
Inflorescence borne on the leaf axils with only a few (1-3) small yellow flowers whose short, hairy peduncles bend downwards and into the soil, thus the fruits (pods) develop underground. ❋ Unknown (1999)
Originally excavated in 1966 by University of Michigan archaeologist Kent Flannery, then at the Smithsonian, the Guilá Naquitz (White Cliff) Cave revealed evidence of human occupation dating back 10,000 years; finds included squash seeds, rind fragments, and peduncles, or stems. ❋ Unknown (1997)
The conspicuous flowers are mauvish-pink, purple or greenish-white in colour, about 2.5 cm in length and borne on stout axilliary peduncles. ❋ Unknown (1987)
The flowers have long peduncles 10-19 cm long; the red calyx forms a spur, sometimes two, and there is considerable variation in the size and shape of the orange petals. ❋ Unknown (1987)
The flowers are inconspicuous, usually white or cream and pedunculate, ascending or erect, corymbose cymes, collected into a terminal leafless panicle, or the lower peduncles arising from the axis of reduced leaves. ❋ Unknown (1987)
Each cerebellar hemisphere is connected to the brain stem by three peduncles (peh-dung'kulz; "little feet" L) made up of nerve fibers. ❋ Asimov, Isaac (1963)
The inflorescence consists of small, terete, axillary and terminal spikes with peduncles often confluent in a leafy spiciform panicle; the rachis is fragile with short broad joints, deeply excavate opposite the sessile spikelets and the tips with two pits. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)
Stems are procumbent when growing in open places, but erect if growing amidst bushes, often branched, ending in long naked peduncles, varying in length from 1-1/2 to 4 feet. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)
The _inflorescence_ is a long erect narrow pyramidal panicle varying in length from 2 to 16 inches; the lower branches sometimes bear several spikes and attain 6 inches in length; the _peduncles_ are short or long, purple tinged and the main _rachis_ is smooth except at the top, angular and grooved. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)
The inflorescence is a panicle consisting of groups of dissimilar spikelets with compressed, boat-shaped spathes on peduncles. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)
The _spikes_ are solitary, 1 to 1-3/4 inch long exserted far above the small spathiform leaf-sheaths, peduncles are capillary and scaberulous, pedicels and joints are somewhat flattened, and have along both the narrow margins long, white, ascending hairs; callus is short with a ring of short white hairs. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)
My own observations, however, and Van der Hoeven's figures, of both male and female, lead me to believe that the peduncles of the branchiæ are perfectly distinct from one another. ❋ Various (N/A)
The handsome and imposing looking flowers of the _Cananga odorata_ occur to the number of four on short peduncles. ❋ Various (N/A)
The umbel-like peduncles are situated in the axils of the leaves or spring from the nodes of leafless branches. ❋ Various (N/A)
We stopped [talking to] [uncle] [Shawn] once he became a peduncle. ❋ LePugh (2011)
My [peduncle] is always [rambling] on about [free candy] and puppies
Dude, I think I just saw my peduncle on the news.
Really?
Yeah, he's wanted for gross sexual imposition. ❋ UlyssesSGrantIsUpInThis (2011)
