A second common pattern has the sympodial STLP enclosed in a prophyll and a stipular wrap-over of the terminal subtending leaf. A third, rarer pattern occurs when the prophyll has become greatly reduced so that the sympodial STLP appears to be enclosed only by a stipular wrap-over of the terminal subtending leaf (W.A.
