Transcribed Image Text:Flowers may be solitary when borne singly, each flower subtended by a foliage leaf, or they
may be variously grouped into an inflorescence, several flowers in a cluster borne on a common axis
13
(Fig.3). Solitary flowers may be pedicelled when supplied with a stalk or pedicel, or sessile when the
pedicel is absent. The stalk of the inflorescence is the peduncle.
According to insertion a solitary flower or an inflorescence is terminal, when it terminates a
branch; axillary when borne in the axils of the leaves; extra-axillary when borne on the internodes
between the nodes or axils, leaf-opposed when borne opposite a leaf; cauline when borne on the stem
below the leaves; and radical when seemingly borne on the root but actually borne on a very short
stem with very short internodes. In an inflorescence that is radical in position the peduncle is referred
to as a scape and the plant scapose.
