Inflorescence
Inflorescence refers to the arrangement of flowers on a plant. It is a crucial aspect of the reproductive process of flowering plants. The structure and organization of the inflorescence can vary widely among different plant species.
Types of Inflorescence
- Racemose Inflorescence: In this type, the main axis continues to grow and produces flowers along its sides. Examples include the simple raceme, panicle, and spike.
- Cymose Inflorescence: Here, the main axis terminates in a flower and further growth is usually limited. Examples include the cyme, dichasium, and umbel.

Life Science
Heredity and Reproduction - A. Offspring of plants and animals are similar to, but not exactly like, their parents or each other. B. Life cycles vary among organisms, but reproduction is a major stage in the life cycle of all organisms.
Compare and contrast the major stages in the life cycles of Florida plants and animals, such as those that undergo incomplete and complete metamorphosis, and flowering and nonflowering seed-bearing plants.
