An unbranched inflorescence of sessile flowers or spikelets.<\/p>\n

Unbranched, elongated inflorescence (flower cluster) in which the flowers are sessile (stalkless).<\/p>\n

\n

A type of flower cluster. The individual flowers lack stems and are attached directly to the long central stalk.<\/p>\n

A flower cluster in which the flowers are sessile and densely arranged along a common rachis. The lower flowers blossom before the upper.<\/p>\n

\n
