Q. Cymose inflorescence is present in

AIPMTAIPMT 2012Morphology of Flowering Plants

Solution:

Cymose inflorescence is also called definite or determinate inflorescence. Growth of the peduncle is definite. Here, the terminal bud is modified into a flower. Flowers develop in basipetal succession, i.e. mature flowers are towards the apex and young flower buds are towards the base. Flowers open in centrifugal sequence, i.e., flowers open from centre to the periphery of the inflorescence e.g., Solanum, Ranunculus, Datura, Gossypium, etc.
