Answer -

The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis of a plant is termed as Inflorescence. It is of the following two types :

Racemose Inflorescence

  • It is an unbranched type of inflorescence.

  • The main axis produces flowers in a lateral pattern.

  • The main axis never terminates in a flower and continues to grow.

  • Young flowers are present towards the top, and old flowers are present towards the bottom (or base) of the axis.

  • Examples: sweet pea, mustard, etc.

Cymose Inflorescence

  • It is branched the type of inflorescence.

  • The main axis terminates in a flower and stops growing.

  • Below the terminal flower, the main axis gives rise to lateral branches (or axes) each of which terminates in a flower.

  • Old flowers are present towards the top in young flowers are present towards the bottom (or base) of the axis.

  • Examples: jasmine, cotton, etc.
