The flowers are heterotristylous, borne in a pendulous panicle inflorescence. Many asteraceous plants have bracts at the base of each inflorescence. A panicle is a much-branched inflorescence. The white flowers are borne on a racemose inflorescence. An umbel is a type of indeterminate inflorescence. Pedicel refers to a structure connecting a single flower to its inflorescence. The flowers are produced in a horizontal inflorescence emerging from a stout spathe. These are displayed in a terminal corymb-like raceme inflorescence. Flowers grow on a terminal inflorescence with many panicles on the current season's growth. Clove stalks are slender stems of the inflorescence axis that show opposite decussate branching. The cauliflower head is composed of a white inflorescence meristem. Around 20 flowers are produced in a dense, rounded, umbel-shaped inflorescence, or flower-head, in diameter. The flowers are in a few flowered terminal cymose inflorescence. The fruiting stage of an inflorescence is known as an infructescence. The flowers are long, purple to pale whitish blue, produced in a loose inflorescence.
