(1) The flowering order in Valencia peanut plant, a variety having very few branches, was observed. (2) Within certain period after blooming of the first flower in a cluster, the first flower in the cluster on the next nodes of the same branch blooms, in succession from the lowest node toward the branch end. The relation may be expressed by a line as follows : y=a+bx, wherby represents the days that the flower on the x-th node takes until its blooming after that of the flower on the first (x=l) node of the same branch. (3) The same rule with a very little modification may be applied to blooming order in the variety Chiba-Churyu-43 of which the branches show a more complex mode of growth.
