The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis is called an inflorescence.

Based on whether the apex gets converted into a flower or it continues to grow, the two types of inflorescences are identified as racemose and cymose.

The two types of inflorescences are as follows:

1. Racemose inflorescence: The main axis grows and the flowers grow laterally in acropetal succession.

2. Cymose inflorescence: The main axis terminates in a flower. Flowers are borne in basipetal order. The main axis has limited growth.
