A panicle is an open and more or less compounded raceme or corymb (Fig. 94). 50. The cyme is a determinate or 83 definite flower-cluster, with a flat or convex top. It resem- bles the corymb somewhat, except that in the latter the flow- ering is centripetal, while in the cyme it is centrifugal (Fig. 95). A crowded cyme is called a fascicle. Many of the clusters are often compound, as compound umbels, compound q9 cymes, etc. The two ) , / n classes of inflores- I r In cence may be repre- sented in one and the same plant; thus the Mint Family â V n >^ has cymes or fasci- W'^1^-^ J cles, which are eew- trifugal in their flow- ering, but these are.
