Panicle

An inflorescence in which the main axis has several lateral branches, each of which is branched; (more specifically) an inflorescence in which both the main axis and any lateral branches are indeterminate (i.e. racemose or monopodial). (Linnaeus used this term in the sense of ‘a sparse inflorescence variously divided’, and this definition (if it can be called that) lasted until de Candolle introduced the ‘racemose’ concept).


A branching indeterminate inflorescence, usually broadest near the base and tapering upwards.


A compound raceme; an indeterminate inflorescence in which the flowers are borne on branches of the main axis or on further branches of these. adj. paniculate.


A branched cluster of flowers on stalks in a pyramid-shaped arrangement.


A type of flower cluster. The flowers, each on a short stem, are arranged along a stalk that branches off a central stalk.


A compound raceme.


A compound flower head that forms a raceme.


A cluster of associated spikes, corymbs or racemes.


A flower group , with branches that are usually in racemes.


A loose compound flower cluster produced by irregular branching.


An open cluster.


A many-branched type of inflorescence (as in oats, for example).


A type of inflorescence, strictly a compound raceme, as typified by that of the lilac.


A branched racemose inflorescence with stalked flowers, the oldest of which is towards the base; may also be applied to any branched flower cluster.
