Derge,
Are you asking "where" are the peduncles or "what" are the peduncles? Or were you just being sarcastic :)
Peduncles are the little "stems" that grow off the vines (could be at a node or between nodes), and the buds grow from these peduncles. They look like little microphones.

Here's a pic of a peduncle (of H. motoskei), where the buds are about to open. The peduncle is the long stem that attaches to the actual stem, and the individual "stems" that lead to the buds are called pedicels.
