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
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
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.
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.
The inflorescence is cymose with a few large flowers with a diameter of up to 7 cm (3 in). These are globular and densely covered with woolly hair. These are globular and densely covered with woolly hair.
Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces.
Inflorescences are quite diverse, including both cymose and racemose types. In Jasione they are strongly condensed and resemble asteraceous capitula. In a few species, e. g. Cyananthus lobatus, flowers are solitary. Flowers are bisexual (dioecious in Dialypetalum) and protandrous. Petals are fused into a corolla with 3 to 8 lobes.
