Inflorescence |

aa |
In the most general sense, an
inflorescence is the complete set of all flowers or flower heads on a
given plant; i.e., an "overall inflorescence".
However, many species with branched stems, have flowers on their branches. We can refer to these as branch inflorescences. The form of a branch inflorescence may be different from that of the overall inflorescence. For example, the overall inflorescence of an aster may be panicle-like, while the form of its branch inflorescences is raceme-like. |
