The Inflorescence

The stem holding this whole reproductive portion of a plant is called a peduncle.

The major axis above the peduncle called rachis bears the flowers or secondary branches. Also, each flower stalk in the inflorescence is referred to as a pedicel.


Types of Inflorescence
Based on the mode of branching of the main axis or peduncle, the main groups of inflorescences are: 
simple (single)
2)  compound, 
3)  mixed, and 
4)  special
