	Inflorescence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers on a branch of a plant.
		An inflorescence is said to be indeterminate if the number of flowers may increase after the first flower opens, even while others are opening, and determinate if the number of flowers cannot increase after the first flower opens.
		A panicle is a branched, indeterminate inflorescence with pedicellate (having short floral stalks) flowers on the secondary branches.

	inflorescence
		In a cymose inflorescence, the tip of the main axis produces a single flower and subsequent flowers arise on lower side branches, as in forget-me-not Myosotis and chickweed Stellaria; the oldest flowers are, therefore, found at the tip.
		A racemose inflorescence has an active growing region at the tip of its main axis, and bears flowers along its length, as in hyacinth Hyacinthus; the oldest flowers are found near the base or, in cases where the inflorescence is flattened, towards the outside.
		Other types of racemose inflorescence include the catkin, a pendulous inflorescence, made up of many small stalkless flowers;; the spadix, in which tiny flowers are borne on a fleshy axis; and the capitulum, in which the axis is flattened or rounded, bears many small flowers, and is surrounded by large petal-like bracts.

		White-fruited Rowan (Sorbus glabrescens) corymb; note the branched structure A panicle is a compound raceme; a branched, indeterminate inflorescence with pedicellate flowers (and fruit) attached along the secondary branches (in another words, a branched cluster of flowers in which the branches are racemes).
		This inflorescence of the terrestrial orchid Spathoglottis plicata is a typical raceme.
		An inflorescence is said to be determinate if the number of flowers cannot increase after the first flower opens; in determinate flower clusters, the most distal flowers (furthest from the stem) open first or all open at about the same time.

		Previously it was thought that the primary inflorescence meristem was also responsible for the production of the secondary inflorescences that arise out of the axils of the cauline leaves present on the primary inflorescence.
		Later, differentiation of the secondary inflorescences is seen from the axils of the pre-existing leaf primordia.
		Inflorescence meristem mutants include mutants that fail to produce normal flower primordia, produce flower meristems that are reduced in size, have altered patterns of flower meristem formation, have inflorescence meristems that are altered in size or shape, or produce partial transformations of flowers into inflorescence-like structures.

		Since the primary defect is seen in the inflorescence meristem (IM), a detailed examination was made of IMs collected from plants grown in both long-day and short-day conditions.
		For wild-type inflorescences there was little difference between primary and secondary inflorescence meristems or between meristems collected under short day or long day conditions.
		Though the inflorescence meristem itself is normal in appearance, a number of abnormal older flowers are present.

	Section 26: Study of Inflorescence
		Inflorescences are classified based on a conventional descriptive system utilized by taxonomists.
		Troll's two major classification include monotelic, or closed inflorescence, in which the axis terminates in a flower, and polytelic, or open inflorescence, where the apical meristem aborts without the formation of a terminal flower.
		Troll's scheme provides an alternative means of studying inflorescence that does not delimit the inflorescence from the remainder of the plant's structure.
