|
cyme |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
Determinate and constituting a compound dichasium or monochasium, the flowers maturing from the center outward (i.e., the distal or inner flowers maturing first); often more or less flat-topped. See also cymule, dichasium, helicoid cyme, monochasium, rhipidium, scorpioid cyme. |
|
bostryx pl. bostryches |
= helicoid cyme |
nominative |
inflorescence |
A cyme in which each axial segment branches to only one side, and all branch to the same side, the whole thus appearing to have an elongate main axis that curves or coils toward its unbranched side. See also scorpioid cyme. |
|
…floral |
= …flowered |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the number of flowers indicated by the prefix; as in bifloral, multifloral, oligofloral, unifloral. |
|
ament |
= catkin |
nominative |
inflorescence |
Elongate, more or less flexible and spike-like, often unisexual, the central axis bearing numerous diminutive flowers inserted either singly or in cymules, the pedicels or secondary axes subtended by small, paleaceous bracts or scales, the whole often deciduous as a unit. |
|
cymose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more simple or compound cymes. See also cincinnate, cymulose, dichasiate, helicoid-cymose, monochasiate, rhipidiate, scorpioid-cymose. |
|
anthela pl. anthelae |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A cyme with the main axis markedly shorter than the lateral axes, appearing generally paniculate when compound; esp. in Juncaceae. |
|
involucrate 1 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Subtended by an involucre. |
|
umbel |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
Pedunculate, determinate or indeterminate, simple or compound and apparently polychotomous, with one or more pedicellate flowers terminating each ultimate axis, the pedicels of each such floral set and the branches (rays) arising from each axial subdivision diverging from each other like the ribs of an umbrella, the whole plane, convex or concave distally. |
|
amentate |
= catkinate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more aments. |
|
cincinnate |
< helicoid-cymose |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cincinni. |
|
cymule |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A diminutive cyme, with few flowers, few or no branches, and short axes. |
|
anthelate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more anthelae; esp. in Juncaceae. |
|
panicle |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A compound (branched) raceme, the elongate main axis either determinate or indeterminate, its lateral branches racemose. |
|
cincinnus pl. cincinni |
< helicoid cyme |
nominative |
inflorescence |
A tightly coiled helicoid cyme (bostryx) with the nodes approximate to congested and the pedicels very short or the flowers sessile. |
|
cymulose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cymules. |
|
stalked 2 |
= pedunculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
|
umbellate |
|
architecture |

|
umbellet |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A single set of pedicellate flowers in a compound umbel. |
|
head |
= capitulum |
nominative |
inflorescence |
Having crowded, sessile or subsessile, small flowers (florets) borne upon an expanded, distally plane or convex, sometimes paleate, compound receptacle (torus), often with a surrounding involucre, and sometimes a subtending calyculus; characteristic of Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
raceme |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
An elongate, unbranched main axis bearing pedicellate flowers inserted singly along it. |
