Racemose Inflorescence and Its Types - Category B and C

Umbel:

  • It is a modified raceme.
  • The main axis is severely reduced.
  • The flowers have pedicels of an equal length and appear to develop at the same point.
  • Each flower arises in the axil of a bract.
  • These bracts fuse to form a whorl called involucre.
  • Umbel inflorescence resembles a loose head of pedicellate flowers that are arranged centripetally, that is, the older flowers towards the periphery and the younger ones towards the centre.
  • It is a characteristic of the family Umbelliferae or Apiaceae.
  • In compound umbel, the reduced main axis branches and the individual umber are borne on these branches.
  • For example, coriander.
