Editing Inflorescence (section)

====Indeterminate or racemose====
Indeterminate simple inflorescences are generally called '''racemose''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|r|æ|s|ᵻ|m|oʊ|s}}. The main kind of racemose inflorescence is the '''raceme''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|r|æ|s|iː|m}}, from classical Latin ''racemus'', [[cluster of grapes]]).<ref>Oxford English Dictionary. Raceme 2. Bot. A type of inflorescence in which the flowers are arranged on short, nearly equal, lateral pedicels, at equal distances along a single elongated axis</ref> The other kind of racemose inflorescences can all be derived from this one by dilation, compression, swelling or reduction of the different axes. Some passage forms between the obvious ones are commonly admitted.
* A '''[[raceme]]''' is an unbranched, [[indeterminate growth|indeterminate]] inflorescence with pedicellate (having short floral stalks) flowers along the axis.
* A '''[[raceme|spike]]''' is a type of raceme with flowers that do not have a pedicel.
* A racemose '''[[corymb]]''' is an unbranched, indeterminate inflorescence that is flat-topped or convex due to their outer pedicels which are progressively longer than inner ones.
* An '''[[umbel]]''' is a type of raceme with a short axis and multiple floral pedicels of equal length that appear to arise from a common point. It is characteristic of [[Umbelliferae]].
* A '''[[spadix (botany)|spadix]]''' is a spike of flowers densely arranged around it, enclosed or accompanied by a highly specialised bract called a '''[[spadix (botany)|spathe]]'''. It is characteristic of the family [[Araceae]].
* A '''[[Pseudanthium|flower head]]''' or '''capitulum''' is a very contracted raceme in which the single sessile flowers share are borne on an enlarged stem. It is characteristic of [[Dipsacaceae]].
* A '''[[catkin]]''' or '''ament''' is a scaly, generally drooping spike or raceme. Cymose or other complex inflorescences that are superficially similar are also generally called thus.
