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). |
|
digamous |
|
reproduction |
inflorescence |
Bearing flowers of two differing sexual constitutions; esp. in Asteraceae (Compositae). |
|
continuous 1 |

architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the flowers or branch units distributed evenly along the axis, with no significant interruption. |
|
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. |

architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
|
panicle |

corymbose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more corymbs. |
|
scorpioid cyme |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A cyme in which each axial segment branches to only one side, the successive segments branching alternately to either side, the whole appearing to have a continuous, elongate, straight to zig-zag main axis. See also cincinnus, helicoid cyme (bostryx). |
|
scorpioid-cymose |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more scorpioid cymes. See also cincinnate, helicoid-cymose. |

|
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. |
|

|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more anthelae; esp. in Juncaceae. |
|
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. |
