📖 1. Inflorescence types and examples

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Simple raceme inflorescence: A simple raceme inflorescence is an inflorescence where flowers are arranged along an axis and open in sequence.
• Simple corymb inflorescence: A simple corymb inflorescence is an inflorescence where flower stalk lengths differ so blooms form a flatter top.
• Simple umbel inflorescence: A simple umbel inflorescence is an inflorescence where flower stalks spread from a common point like an umbrella.

📝 Essential Points

• In the stock plant, flowers bloom from the bottom to the top.
• In the cherry plant, the inflorescence type is simple corymb.
• In the garlic plant, the inflorescence type is simple umbel.
• In the garlic plant, flowers bloom from the outside to the inside.

💡 Memory Hook

Stock = bottom→top; Garlic = outside→inside.
