In botany, a panicle is a much-branched inflorescence. [1] Some authors distinguish it from a compound spike inflorescence, by requiring that the flowers (and fruit ) be pedicellate (having a single stem per flower).

The meaning of PANICLE is a compound racemose inflorescence.

A panicle is a branched raceme in which the branches are themselves racemes (e.g., yuccas, Yucca). In a compound umbel, all the umbel inflorescences arise from a common point and appear to be at about the same level (e.g., wild carrot).

Panicle hydrangeas – also known as peegee hydrangeas, hardy hydrangeas, and Limelight hydrangeas, are the easiest to grow, most adaptable of all hydrangeas.

2024年5月16日 · Panicles are a type of flower cluster known as a raceme. Racemes are very common in the natural world, coming in a variety of shapes and sizes. Panicles are perhaps most commonly found on grasses such as rice, oats, and rye.

Panicle definition: A loosely branched inflorescence, especially a branching raceme.

When the main axis of raceme is branched and the lateral branches bear the flowers, the inflorescence is known as compound raceme or panicle, e.g., neem (Azadirachta indica), gul-mohar (Delonix regia), etc.

2018年6月8日 · panicle A type of flowering shoot common in the grass family. The primary axis bears groups of racemes and is itself racemose, as the youngest groups of flowers are at the top (e.g. oat). The term may be used loosely for any form of branched racemose inflorescence; for example, the horse chestnut is a raceme of cymes.
