elongated often pendulous inflorescence of stalked flowers on a common rachis The flowers of Cassia fistula are born into racemes
an inflorescence on a single axis where each flower is stalked rectinerved- describes a leaf with reticulated venation rhizome- an underground stem which acts as a sotrage organ root- the part of a plant that anchors it in the soil and absorbs nutriment and moisture necessary for growth runcinate- applied to a pinnatifid leaf in which the sharply curved cuts between the lobes are directed towards the base runner- a long slender stem with leaves springing from its nodes
a group of flowers similar to a spike, but with each individual flower on its own stem
An inflorescence where the flowers are attached to an elongated rachis and the youngest flowers are at the apex

A simple inflorescence of pediceled flowers upon a common more or less elongated axis
A type of flower cluster in which single-flowered pedicels are arranged along the sides of a flower shoot terminus There is space along the shoot between the pedicels
An inflorescence consisting of a main axis, bearing single flowers alternately or spirally on stalks (pedicels) of approximately equal length The apical growing point continues to be active so there is usually no terminal flower and the youngest branches or flowers are nearest the apex This mode of growth is known as monopodial
A long flower cluster on which individual flowers each bloom on a small stalk all along a common, larger, central stalk (Niering, 1992) Bananas are the flower of a banana tree
