| Umbels have stalked flowers, and the stalks (pedicels) arise from a single point. A compound umbel (pictured) is an umbel of umbels | Heads have flowers without stalks, attached to a flattened or rounded disc. The yellow part of the daisy “flower” in this picture is many individual flowers | Spikes have flowers without stalks, attached to an elongate
axis |
Racemes are like spikes, but the individual flowers are on stalks (pedicels) |
|
Cymose inflorescences have the most mature flower at their apex |
