Presence of sessile flower

Detailed explanation-1: -“The cymose inflorescence is characterised by the presence of a flower at the apex of the flower axis.” The growth of the main axis is limited and the lateral axis also terminates into flower and that limits the growth of the axis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Parts of an Inflorescence a)Peduncle: It is the main supporting stalk of the inflorescence. b)Pedicle: It is the stalk of the individual flowers. Some flowers are sessile and do not have a stalk, they are directly attached to the peduncle.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is Cymose Inflorescence? It is the type of inflorescence where growth of the main stem stops after the growth of a flower. The flowers are arranged in a basipetal sequence, which means that flowers start maturing from apex or the top and towards the base of its stem.
