The arrows denote the general order of succession in, the opening of the flowers. Fig. 8i also shows a sympode formed from fig. 80 by the successive displacement of each terminal flower : each dotted line denotes a single axis. these latter grow more strongly than the inflorescence-axis which bears them. Usually the flowers at the apex of a cymose inflorescence open before those on the branches, so that they 4o not open in acropetal succession. There are three main types of cymes—.
