Determinate simple inflorescences are generally called cymose. The main kind of cymose inflorescence is the cyme (pronounced / s aɪ m /), from the Latin cyma in the sense 'cabbage sprout', from Greek kuma 'anything swollen'). [9] [10] Cymes are further divided according to this scheme: Only one secondary axis: monochasium
Corymb is a botanical term for an inflorescence with the flowers growing in such a fashion that the outermost are borne on longer pedicels than the inner, bringing all flowers up to a common level. A corymb has a flattish top with a superficial resemblance towards an umbel , and may have a branching structure similar to a panicle .
This inflorescence of the terrestrial orchid Spathoglottis plicata shows indeterminate growth; note that the opening of flowers and production of fruits is proceeding upwards on the shoot. Cymose determinate inflorescences a. Myosotis b. Cerastium (dichasium) c. Sedum (scorpioid cyme) d. Scirpus lacustris (compound cyme) e. Dianthus (fascicle) f.
This type of inflorescence is largely characteristic of grasses, such as oat and crabgrass, [a] as well as other plants such as pistachio and mamoncillo. Botanists use the term paniculate in two ways: "having a true panicle inflorescence" [b] as well as "having an inflorescence with the form but not necessarily the structure of a panicle".
The inflorescence of a Phalaenopsis orchid is a typical raceme. A raceme (/ r eɪ ˈ s iː m, r ə-/) or racemoid is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing flowers having short floral stalks along the shoots that bear the flowers. The oldest flowers grow close to the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows in ...
adj. cymose. A type of inflorescence in which the main axis and all lateral branches end in a flower (each lateral may be repeatedly branched). cymose Having a cyme or cymes. cypsela A type of dry, one-seeded, indehiscent fruit formed from an inferior ovary
The bicolor unit consists of an ordered inflorescence with determinate cymose structures. The inflorescence can branch off the main axis, creating separate orders of the flowers, with the main axis developing first. Bracts on the peduncle subtend axillary buds that become these lateral stalks. One bract within this whorl is a sterile bract.
A spikelet, in botany, describes the typical arrangement of the inflorescences of grasses, sedges and some other monocots. Each spikelet has one or more florets. [1]: 12 The spikelets are further grouped into panicles or spikes. The part of the spikelet that bears the florets is called the rachilla. [1]: 13
