Inflorescence
An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers arranged on a stem that can have only one main branch or be composed of complicated arrangements of branches. Speaking more strictly, it is the part of the shoot of the spermatophytes where flowers are formed and which is accordingly modified. The modifications can involve the length and the nature of the internodes and the phyllotaxis, as well as variations in the proportions, compressions, swellings, adnations, connations and reduction of main and secondary axes.
