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.

Polychasial / Multiparous Cyme:

  • The main axis terminates into a flower.
  • Many new flowers arise at the base of the older flower.
  • For example, calotropis

 

In a polychasium the main axis terminates into a flower. Many new flowers arise at the base of the older flower.
