The inflorescence of a Phalaenopsis orchid is a typical raceme. A raceme (/ r eɪ ˈ s iː m, r ə-/) or racemoid is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing flowers having short floral stalks along the shoots that bear the flowers. The oldest flowers grow close to the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows in ...
Compound inflorescences are composed of branched stems and can involve complicated arrangements that are difficult to trace back to the main branch. A kind of compound inflorescence is the double inflorescence, in which the basic structure is repeated in the place of single florets. For example, a double raceme is a raceme in which the single ...
In reference to an inflorescence (a shoot specialised for bearing flowers, and bearing no leaves other than bracts), an indeterminate type (such as a raceme) is one in which the first flowers to develop and open are from the buds at the base, followed progressively by buds nearer to the growing tip. The growth of the shoot is not impeded by the ...
The inflorescence is a dense raceme 2.5 to 3 meters (8.2 to 9.8 ft) high (usually curved), with greenish-yellow flowers, developing after many years. [7] As with other Agave species, the species is monocarpic , meaning that, rather than sending flowers out from the side of its stem and continuing living (like the succulent genera Crassula or ...
In botany, a panicle is a much-branched inflorescence. [1] Some authors distinguish it from a compound spike inflorescence, by requiring that the flowers (and fruit) be pedicellate (having a single stem per flower). The branches of a panicle are often racemes. A panicle may have determinate or indeterminate growth.
The flowers appear in early spring. The inflorescence is a terminal raceme, or lateral raceme arising from the leaf axils, with 6 to 25 flowers on short 3-8mm pedicels. There are four yellowy green sepals, 5mm long and four bright yellow petals each 8mm long. Six stamens and one style with a capitate stigma at the tip.
The inflorescence is a raceme made up of yellow flowers having four petals with spreading sepals. [3] [4] The fruit is a silique 3–5 cm long with a beak 1–2 cm long that is flattened-quadrangular. The valves of the silique are glabrous or rarely bristly, three to five nerved. The seeds are dark red or brown, [2] smooth 1-1.5 mm in diameter.
The inflorescence, a raceme, appears in summer (late July or early August in the UK) and is borne on a stem 40–60 cm (16–24 in) tall. Individual flowers have stalks 15–20 mm (9 ⁄ 16 – 13 ⁄ 16 in) long. The tepals are whitish to purple, the ovary always purple. Most plants have a pleasant coconut-like scent.
