|
monochasium pl. monochasia |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
Determinate and falsely dichotomous with each axial segment bearing a single, sessile terminal flower; presumably derived from a dichasium by loss of the lateral flowers. See also cincinnus, cyme, cymule, dichasium, helicoid cyme, scorpioid cyme. |

|
helicoid cyme |
= bostryx; > cincinnus |
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 |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the number of flowers indicated by the prefix; as in few-flowered, single-flowered, three-flowered. |
