architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the flowers or branch units distributed evenly along the axis, with no significant interruption. |
|
corymb |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
An indeterminate, more or less condensed raceme with the pedicels progressively shorter toward the distal end, the flowers all borne at approximately the same level, the whole generally plane or convex at the top, the flowers maturing from the edge inward (i.e., the proximal or outer flowers maturing first). |

architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cincinni. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
stalked 2 |
= pedunculate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
|
umbellate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |

|
paniculate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more panicles. |
|
corymbose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more corymbs. |
|
cyathiate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cyathia. |
|
raceme |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
An elongate, unbranched main axis bearing pedicellate flowers inserted singly along it. |
|
glome |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A rounded cluster of sessile or subsessile flowers that are inserted very close together and oriented divergently, the whole more or less hemispheric and sessile or subsessile. |
|
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). |
|
glomerate |
= agglomerate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomes. |
|
thyrsate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more thyrses. |
|
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. |
|
cyathium pl. cyathia |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
Resembling a single flower, the unbranched axis very short with a terminal pistillate flower and several lateral staminate flowers, the whole subtended and to some degree enclosed by a cupulate envelope of bracts, the flowers diminutive and presumed to be evolutionarily reduced; characteristic of Euphorbia. |
|
glomerulate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more glomerules; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
thyrse |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
An elongate, indeterminate main axis bearing numerous lateral branches, each the principal axis of a cymose subdivision. |
|
amentate |
= catkinate |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more aments. |
|
racemose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more racemes. |
|
glomerule |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A compact cluster of capitula (heads), sometimes subtended by an involucre; thus, a compound capitulum (head); esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
