The cymose inflorescence is also known as determinate inflorescence and is characterized by the presence of a flower at the apex of the floral axis. The main axis has limited growth in this case. The lateral axis terminates into a flower and limits the growth of the axis.

In which inflorescence the main axis ends in a flower?
The growing point often forms a flower in cymose inflorescence, i.e. the principal axis is terminated. The flower arrangement is basipetal and has the oldest at the tip and the younger one away from it. In Solanaceae family, this type of inflorescence is found. Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
In what order are flowers arranged in Cymose inflorescence?
The flowers are arranged in a basipetal sequence, which means that flowers start maturing from apex or the top and towards the base of its stem. Consequently, flowers in cymose inflorescence open in a centrifugal mode. It means that the flowers start opening from the centre to their periphery.
Which type of inflorescence is the main axis?
Main axis has limited growth in cymose type inflorescence and unlimited growth in racemose.
What is inflorescence axis?
Inflorescence, in a flowering plant, a cluster of flowers on a branch or a system of branches. An inflorescence is categorized on the basis of the arrangement of flowers on a main axis (peduncle) and by the timing of its flowering (determinate and indeterminate).
What is racemose inflorescence give its types?
racemose inflorescence (indefinite inflorescence) A type of flowering shoot (see inflorescence) in which the growing region at the tip of the flower stalk continues to produce new flower buds during growth. As a result, the youngest flowers are at the top and the oldest flowers are at the base of the stalk.
When a flower has both androecium and gynoecium it is known as?
Flowers that contain both androecium and gynoecium are called androgynous or hermaphroditic. If both male and female flowers live on one plant it is called monoecious.
Which plant shows Cymose inflorescence?
So, the correct answer is 'Solanum'.
What is a flower which has all four parts called?
A typical flower has four main parts—or whorls—known as the calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium (Figure 1). The outermost whorl of the flower has green, leafy structures known as sepals. The sepals, collectively called the calyx, help to protect the unopened bud.
What is Polychasial cyme?
Page 11. Monochasial Cyme. The terminal bud of main axis ends in flower. A single lateral branch pushes it to one side but also itself ends in a flower. The process is repeated.
What is meant by Racemose inflorescence?
racemose inflorescence (indefinite inflorescence)
A type of flowering shoot (seeinflorescence) in which the growing region at the tip of the flower stalk continues to produce new flower buds during growth. As a result, the youngest flowers are at the top and the oldest flowers are at the base of the stalk.
Which are the essential parts of a flower?
But as to a complete flower, all four tissues (sepal, petal, stamen and pistil) are considered the essential parts because all must be present for a single flower to have a complete structure.
Is the female reproductive part of the flower?
As a plant's reproductive part, a flower contains a stamen (male flower part) or pistil (female flower part), or both, plus accessory parts such as sepals, petals, and nectar glands (Figure 19). The stamen is the male reproductive organ.
