Answer:
Inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on the floral axis. The flowers are arranged with respect to a fixed floral axis. We will look at the various types and arrangements of flowers now.Inflorescence Types
1) Cyathium
The bracts or the involucre fuse and form a cup-shaped structure on the margin. This houses the glands. In the central part of the cup-shaped structure, you can find the female flowers. These mature earlier. Due to the growth of pedicel, this comes out from the cup-shaped structure.
Small male flowers surround these female flowers. These are also found on Pedicel. The male flowers, which lie towards the centre, mature earlier than the flowers which are towards the periphery. This inflorescence is found in Euphorbiaceae family like Euphorbia, Poinsettia, Pedilanthus.
2) Verticillaster
We can find this type of inflorescence in Labiatae/Lamiaceae family, where the leaves are arranged in opposite manner on the stem. From the axil of each leaf, inflorescence develops. From the main axil, lateral axil arises, on which flowers you can find the flowers. Examples include Salvia, Ocimum, Coleus etc.

3) Hypanthium
In this type of inflorescence, you can see the peduncle modified in narrow cup-like structure. At the base of the cup, the female flowers develop while towards mouth the male flower develops. All three types of flowers are present in this inflorescence. Eg. Banyan, Peepal etc.
