    Student Arooba Irfan submitted an assignment comparing two types of plant inflorescences - racemose and cymose. Racemose inflorescences have an indefinite main axis that does not end in a flower, with new flowers continuously produced acropetally from the bottom up. Cymose inflorescences have a main axis that ends in a flower, with limited flowers produced centrifugally from the top down.
