When the outermost flowers expand first, the inflore.. cence is centripetal , as is the case in catkins, spikes, and racemes, in which the flowers nearest the base are the first to expand, and those nearest the apex the last.

One of the two C. of each maniple had a precedence before the other; and the C. of the first century of the first maniple of the Triarians presided over all the others, and had charge of the eagle or chief standard of the legion, which gave him the privilege of ranking with the knights. The badge of a C. was a vine-rod. The rank of a C. was parallel to that of a captain in modern times. Several C. are honorably mentioned in the New Testament, ( Mark xv. 39; Luke viii. 1-10).
