Botanically an annual plant is a Plant that usually germinates, Flowers and dies in one Year. They have slender roots and thin stems that are upright or ascending.

Inflorescences are one- to three-flowered and terminally end the stems. An inflorescence is a group or cluster of Flowers arranged on a stem that is composed of a main Branch or a complicated arrangement of branches A stem is one of two main structural axes of a Vascular plant. The flowers are in spreading cymes or solitary, with bracts paired that are leaf like. In Botany, a bract is a modified or specialized Leaf. Bracts are ordinarily associated with reproductive structures (subtending Flowers Inflorescence Named for Conrad Moench.
