catkin |
= ament |
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. |
|
spadicate |
|
architecture |
inflorescence |
Generally spicate but with the flowers embedded in a thick, fleshy axis, the whole subtended and usually partially or wholly enveloped by a large bract (spathe). |

architecture |
inflorescence |
Comprising one or more catkins. |
|

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. |
|
