A study is made of the branching of time periodic solutions of a system of differential equations in R2 in the case of a double zero eigenvalue. It is shown that the solution need not be unique and the period of the solution is large. The stability of these solutions is analysed. Examples are given and generalizations to larger systems are discussed.
