In a particular type of inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower, hence its growth is limited. This type of arrangement is termed as:

Options

  1. ACymose
  2. BRacemose
  3. CSolitary axillary
  4. DActinomorphic

Correct answer

A. Cymose

Step-by-step solution

According to NCERT, in the cymose type of inflorescence, the main axis terminates in a flower, which results in its limited growth. The flowers in this type are borne in a basipetal order. In contrast, the racemose inflorescence features a main axis that continues to grow indefinitely. Solitary axillary refers to a single flower in the axil of a leaf, and actinomorphic is a term used for radial symmetry in flowers, not an inflorescence type. Answer: Cymose
