Answer:
The arrangement of groups or clusters of flowers on the floral axis is called an
inflorescence. Inflorescence are of two main types: -
i. Racemose inflorescence: - In racemose inflorescence, the main axis continues
to grow and produces flowers laterally. The flowers are arranged in an
acropetal succession which means that older flowers are at the base and
younger flowers are at the tip.
ii. Cymose inflorescence: - The primary axis (floral axis) of a cymose
inflorescence stops in a flower, limiting its expansion. The blooms are
arranged in a basipetal pattern, with the elder flowers at the top and the
younger flowers at the bottom.
