Corymb is a botanical term for an inflorescence with the flowers growing in such a fashion that the outermost are borne on longer pedicels than the inner, bringing all flowers up to a common level. A corymb has a flattish top with a superficial resemblance towards an umbel , and may have a branching structure similar to a panicle .
A racemose corymb is an unbranched, indeterminate inflorescence that is flat-topped or convex due to their outer pedicels which are progressively longer than inner ones. An umbel is a type of raceme with a short axis and multiple floral pedicels of equal length that appear to arise from a common point.
Corymb – a grouping of flowers where all the flowers are at the same level, the flower stalks of different lengths forming a flat-topped flower cluster. Cyme – is a cluster of flowers where the end of each growing point produces a flower. New growth comes from side shoots, and the oldest and first flowers to bloom are at the top.
corymb. adj. corymbose. An inflorescence with branches arising at different points but reaching about the same height, giving the flower cluster a flat-topped appearance. costa A rib. costapalmate Having a definite costa (midrib), unlike the typical palmate or fan leaf, but with the leaflet s arranged radially as in a palmate leaf. cotyledon
A corymb may have a paniculate branching structure, with the lower flowers having longer pedicels than the upper, thus giving a flattish top superficially resembling an umbel. Many species in the subfamily Amygdaloideae, such as hawthorns and rowans, produce their flowers in corymbs. Sorbus glabrescens corymb with fruit
Corymbium is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family comprising nine species. It is the only genus in the subfamily Corymbioideae and the tribe Corymbieae. [2] [3] The species have leaves with parallel veins, strongly reminiscent of monocots, in a rosette and compounded inflorescences may be compact or loosely composed racemes, panicles or corymbs.
Largest cyme. Begonia macdougaliidammaropsis (Begoniaceae: Mexico. Total length 8 ft 8 in (264 cm) but only seven inches (18 cm) is the cyme sensu stricto, the rest being the peduncle. [59] Reportedly also in Brazil. Largest adventitious inflorescence. Cape Primrose (Streptocarpus saundersii.) Gesneriaceae. KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa.
In botany, an umbel is an inflorescence that consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) that spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs.The word was coined in botanical usage in the 1590s, from Latin umbella "parasol, sunshade". [1]
