| | Todd Richmond's Thesis - Inflorescence development in Arabidopsis |
 | | Inflorescence meristem mutants include mutants that fail to produce normal flower primordia, produce flower meristems that are reduced in size, have altered patterns of flower meristem formation, have inflorescence meristems that are altered in size or shape, or produce partial transformations of flowers into inflorescence-like structures. | | | Later, differentiation of the secondary inflorescences is seen from the axils of the pre-existing leaf primordia. | | | Previously it was thought that the primary inflorescence meristem was also responsible for the production of the secondary inflorescences that arise out of the axils of the cauline leaves present on the primary inflorescence. |

| | Schmidt-Adam & Gould--Metrosideros excelsa - Inflorescence development |
| | Vegetative and compound inflorescence buds are initially morphologically identical, with several bud scales and a spheroidal shape (stage I). | | | A pair of bracts and two pairs of bracteoles, subtending lateral flower buds in each cymose inflorescence, become visible at stage V. After all bracts and bracteoles have abscised, individual flower buds appear clearly separated and petals become visible (stage VI). | | | Abstract The development of compound inflorescences in Metrosideros excelsa over a 10-week period is described. |

| | Other types of racemose inflorescence include the catkin, a pendulous inflorescence, made up of many small stalkless flowers&; the spadix, in which tiny flowers are borne on a fleshy axis; and the capitulum, in which the axis is flattened or rounded, bears many small flowers, and is surrounded by large petal-like bracts. | | | A racemose inflorescence has an active growing region at the tip of its main axis, and bears flowers along its length, as in hyacinth Hyacinthus; the oldest flowers are found near the base or, in cases where the inflorescence is flattened, towards the outside. | | | In a cymose inflorescence, the tip of the main axis produces a single flower and subsequent flowers arise on lower side branches, as in forget-me-not Myosotis and chickweed Stellaria; the oldest flowers are, therefore, found at the tip. |

| | An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers on a branch of a plant. | | | An inflorescence is said to be indeterminate if the number of flowers may increase after the first flower opens, even while others are opening, and determinate if the number of flowers cannot increase after the first flower opens. | | | A panicle is a branched, indeterminate inflorescence with pedicellate (having short floral stalks) flowers on the secondary branches. |
