Cymose is a simple type of inflorescence in which the termination of growth of the main axis occurs and the flowers are borne in a basipetal succession. Thus, in this case, the main axis shows limited growth. As the growth of the main stem (peduncle) is hurt by the terminal flowers, this type of arrangement of flowers in an angiosperm is also called a definite fluorescence. This terminal flower at the outer end of the main stem is the major difference between the cymose and racemose inflorescence. The flower in these types of plants is the most dominant flower in the cymose plant and the younger plant starts to grow from the stem below the terminal flowers. The flowers in these angiosperms are in a bipedal sequence. The newly formed shoots from the bottom of the main stem (peduncle) and it is also got terminated by another terminating flower growing at the outer end of the newly formed shoot.
