| | inflorescence |
 | | Other types of racemose inflorescence include the catkin, a pendulous inflorescence, made up of many small stalkless flowers&; the spadix, in which tiny flowers are borne on a fleshy axis; and the capitulum, in which the axis is flattened or rounded, bears many small flowers, and is surrounded by large petal-like bracts. | | | A racemose inflorescence has an active growing region at the tip of its main axis, and bears flowers along its length, as in hyacinth Hyacinthus; the oldest flowers are found near the base or, in cases where the inflorescence is flattened, towards the outside. | | | The stalk of the inflorescence is called a peduncle; the stalk of each individual flower is called a pedicel. |

| | Todd Richmond's Thesis - Inflorescence development in Arabidopsis |
| | Inflorescence meristem mutants include mutants that fail to produce normal flower primordia, produce flower meristems that are reduced in size, have altered patterns of flower meristem formation, have inflorescence meristems that are altered in size or shape, or produce partial transformations of flowers into inflorescence-like structures. | | | The terminal flower mutant, in addition to being early flowering, terminates its inflorescence prematurely, ending with the conversion of the indeterminate inflorescence meristem into a determinate floral meristem. | | | After seed germination and seedling growth, the vegetative meristem produces five to eight leaves in a basal rosette, arranged in a spiral phyllotaxy. |

| | The syconium is a complex inflorescence (flower cluster) consisting of a hollow, fleshy structure (peduncular tissue) lined on the inside with numerous tiny unisexual flowers. | | | Depending on the tribe, the inflorescence may consist of ray flowers, disk flowers, or both ray and disk flowers. | | | Each cyathium is actually a flower cluster or inflorescence containing unisexual, apetalous male and female flowers. |

| | Simple inflorescences consist of lateral and apical floral meristems that terminate with a solitary flower. | | | Troll's two major classification include monotelic, or closed inflorescence, in which the axis terminates in a flower, and polytelic, or open inflorescence, where the apical meristem aborts without the formation of a terminal flower. | | | An inflorescence is a shoot system that bears flowers, the individual reproductive shoots. |

| | In the primary inflorescence the pollen grains matured between August and December, while a second smaller bloom was observed in April. | | | Due to the fact that there are always between 2–4 inflorescences at different developmental stages present in each bulb, flower forcing could be difficult as forcing of one inflorescence could possibly be done at the cost of the following seasons' bloom. | | | This was done to define the stages of inflorescence development in order to determine the optimum period for flower forcing. |
