reproduction
S T I G M A = a réceptacle for pollen
S T YL E = the stalk that supports the stigma and
connects it to the ovary
PO L L E N T U B E = deliver sperm cells to the female
gametophyte for double fertilization
O V A R Y = contains ovules, which develop into
seeds upon fertilization
O V U L E = where female reproductive cells are
made and contained, and it is what eventually
develops into a seed after fertilization,

Inflorescence
- Arrangement of flowers in the

peduncle or main stem

CYME CATKIN
a flat-topped inflorescence in which
Spike like, single sex flower
the central flowers open first,
which lacks petals
followed by the peripheral flowers,
as in the onion (genus Allium).

S PA D I X R A C E ME
Small flowers borne on a fleshy Flowers are borne on short
stem stalks of equal length at equal
distances
UMBEL S PI K E
The peduncle of this type of
Has long unbranched main axis
inflorescence bears all of the
which bears flowers which have
pedicels at its apex.
no pedicel or short pedicel

HEAD C O R YMB
Short dense spike in which the A raceme in which the pedicels
flowers are borne directly n a of the lower flowers are longer
broad , flat peduncle than those of the upper flower .
SPIKELET V ER T I C I L O R W H O R L
Units of grass inflorescence
Flowers are born in a tight circle
at each node

PA N I C L E C O MPO U N D U MB E L
The main axis has branches A primary umbel that gives rise
which are in turned rebranched to a secondary umbel
