inflorescence cyme inflorescence plant_anatomy Cyme inflorescence is used here to treat inflorescences that are commonly referred to as dichasial, pleiochasial, or polychasial cymes; each of which are named according to the number of higher order inflorescence axes at a single axis. Cyme is not used here to treat monochasial cymose inflorescences, which contain at least one repeating sympodial unit, such as cincinnus inflorescence (PO:0030132), compound cincinnus inflorescence (PO:0030133), bostryx (PO:0030134), rhipidium inflorescence (PO:0030131), drepanium inflorescence (PO:0030135), and compound drepanium inflorescence (PO:0030136). Examples include many species of the Figwort family (Scrophulariaceae, including green figwort Scrophularia umbrosa) and the Verbena family (Verbenaceae). dichasium (narrow) polychasium (narrow) NYBG:Brandon_Sinn An inflorescence (PO:0009049) with a monopodial growth habit, which at flowering stage (PO:0007616), is composed of a determinate, first order inflorescence axis (PO:0025104) and pedicellate flowers (PO:0009046) on paired, determinate higher order inflorescence axes (PO:0009081). cyme (exact) cyathia (narrow, plural) cyathium (narrow) cymule (narrow) pleiochasium (narrow) verticillaster (narrow) PO:0030126 2017-04-20T17:36:16Z
