inflorescence Flower or flower cluster. Inflorescences are classified into two main types according to branching characteristics. A racemose inflorescence has a main axis and lateral flowering branches with flowers opening from the bottom up or from the outer edge in; types include panicle, raceme, spike and umbel. A cymose inflorescence has a composite axis with the main stem ending in a flower and lateral branches bearing additional, later-flowering branches.
