In many cymose in- florescences the flowers are crowded together in clusters, the central flowers of which open first and the other flowers, open in suc- cession from the centre towards the circumfer- In the cymose type the branching is essentially sympodial. The lal-bharenda. Coral plant {Jatropha multifida), ghentu {Clerodendron), and Pink {Dianthus chinensis, L.) are examples of dichasium; hati-soonrh {Helio- tropium indicum) (fig. 73) and Hyoscyamus niger are examples of scorpioid cyme; most plants of the Solanum or Potato family are examples of helicoid cyme. In rang-chita (see fig. 114) and teshira-monsha (see fig. 232) there is a cymose head of flowers (cyathium) embraced within an involucre of one or more calyx-.
