Explanation

The arrangement and distribution of flowers on the floral axis (peduncle) of a plant is known as inflorescence. Depending on whether the apex gets converted into a flower or continues to grow, inflorescences are mainly classified into two types: Racemose (where the main axis continues to grow and flowers are borne laterally) and Cymose (where the main axis terminates in a flower, limiting growth).

  • Thalamus: Also known as the receptacle, it is the swollen base of the flower stalk that supports the floral organs.
  • Aestivation: Refers to the mode of arrangement of sepals or petals in a floral bud with respect to other members of the same whorl.
  • Flowering: A general term for the process or period of producing flowers.
