An elongate, determinate or usually indeterminate axis bearing sessile flowers inserted singly along it, unbranched or sometimes bearing lateral branches of the same nature. |
|
dichasium pl. dichasia |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
Determinate and falsely dichotomous with each axial segment bearing a sessile terminal flower and either a pair of opposite pedicellate lateral flowers or a pair of opposite lateral branches. See also cincinnus, cyme, cymule, helicoid cyme, monochasium, scorpioid cyme. |

Comprising one or more aments. |
|
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). |
|
cincinnate |
< helicoid-cymose |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more cincinni. |
|
continuous 1 |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having the flowers or branch units distributed evenly along the axis, with no significant interruption. |
|
pedunculate |
< stalked |
architecture |
inflorescence |
Having a peduncle. |
|
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. |
|
spikelet |
|
nominative |
inflorescence |
A compound structure belonging to the penultimate subdivisional order of a sedge or grass inflorescence; consisting of one or more florets (each a diminutive flower subtended by specialized bractlets (bracteoles) called scales or glumes in sedges, lemma and palea in grasses), spicately arranged along a common axis (rachilla), the axis and florets together subtended by one or (usually) two bracts (first and second glumes). The spikelet is usually considered to be the basic unit of inflorescence in Cyperaceae and Poaceae (Gramineae). |
|
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. |
|
rhipidiate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more rhipidia. |
|
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 |
Having the penultimate subdivisional order consisting of spikelets. |
|
rhipidium pl. rhipidia |
|
nominative |
