This inflorescence of the terrestrial orchid Spathoglottis plicata is a typical raceme. A terrestrial plant is one that grows on land Other types of plants are aquatic (living in water Epiphytic (living on trees but not Parasitic)

A raceme is a type of inflorescence that is unbranched and indeterminate and bears pedicellate flowers — flowers having short floral stalks called pedicels — along the axis. 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 In Biology and especially Botany, indeterminate growth refers to growth that is not terminated in contrast to determinate growth that stops once a A flower, also known as a bloom or Blossom, is the reproductive structure found in Flowering plants (plants of the division Magnoliophyta, also A pedicel is a stem that attaches single Flowers to the main stem of the Inflorescence. In botany, axis means a shoot, in this case one bearing the flowers. Botany, plant science(s, phytology, or plant biology is a branch of Biology and is the scientific study of plant Life In a raceme, the oldest flowers are borne towards the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows. A plant that flowers on a showy raceme may telegraph the fact in its scientific name, e. g. Cimicifuga racemosa. Actaea racemosa ( Black cohosh, Black bugbane or Black snakeroot or Fairy candle; syn

A spike is a type of raceme in which individual flowers are sessile (that is, lack pedicels). The term spikelet can refer to a small spike, although it is primarily used to refer to the ultimate flower cluster unit in the grasses (Family Poaceae), in which case the stalk supporting the cluster becomes the pedicel. Poaceae or Gramineae is a family in the Class Liliopsida of the flowering plants. A spikelet comprises one or more florets enclosed by two glumes (bracts), and is not a raceme.

Each of the units radiating outward in this inflorescence of a Cyperus sedge inflorescence is a spikelet composed of small flowers (florets) arranged in two ranks

A spadix is a form of spike in which the florets are densely crowded along the axis. Cyperus is a large Genus of about 600 Species of sedges distributed throughout all continents in both tropical and temperate regions In Botany, a spadix (pl spadices) is a type of spike: an Inflorescence with small Flowers crowded on a thickened fleshy axis
