Inflorescence types include Racemose (e.g., Mustard) with continuous axis growth, Cymose (e.g., Dianthus) with terminal flowers, and Compound (e.g., Amaltas).
Inflorescence types include Racemose (e.g., Mustard), Cymose (e.g., Dianthus), and Compound (e.g., Amaltas), each with distinct axis growth and flower arrangement patterns.
| Front | Types of inflorescence with 1 example each |
|---|---|
| Back | 1) Racemose: The main axis doesn't end in a flower, but continues to grow and give flowers laterally. Acropetal arrangement eg Mustard 2) Cymose: The main axis terminates in a flower, but growth continues later through lateral buds that give rise branches with flowers. Basipetal arrangement eg Dianthus (pink) 3) Compound: eg Amaltas |
