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.
