Racemose is a type of an inflorescence where the main axis continues to grow indefinitely and does not terminate in flower. This is why it is also known as an indefinite or indeterminate inflorescence.

The main characteristics are:

Growth of the main axis (peduncle) is indefinite and continues to produce a flower bud

The peduncle seldom terminates in a flower

Peduncle is monopodial

The first formed flowers are formed at the base of the peduncle

Flowers are borne laterally in acropetal succession, i.e. older flowers are at the base and younger ones at the tip

Group of flowers are arranged centripetally, i.e. younger flowers in the middle and older flowers at the periphery

Newly formed fruits are not protected by flowers

Grouping of flowers is less common
