Cymose Inflorescence and Its Types
Cymose Inflorescence:
- This type of inflorescence is also known as determinate or definite inflorescence.
- Each peduncle or axis, whether main or axillary terminates into a flower.
- Younger flowers arise from the base of the older ones.
- Hence, the arrangement of flowers is in basipetal succession, that is, the older ones appear at the top and the younger ones at the base.
Cymose Head:
- The peduncle is flattened.
- Many sessile and centrifugally arranged flowers are seen around the peduncle.
- The difference between racemose head and the cymose head inflorescence is of the arrangement of florets.
- The arrangement is centripetal in the racemose head while it is centrifugal in the cymose head.
- For example, Acacia
Cymose head shows centrifugally arranged florets with older florets towards centre and younger towards periphery.
