When the flowers are numerous, the head becomes Globose. The true clovers have capitate flowers. When the pedicels in a raceme branch so as to bear two or more flowers each, a Compouhd Raceme is formed. So in like manner Compound Umbels, Spikes, and Corymbs may be formed. These flower bunches, cymes, racemes, etc., may be at the ends of main stems or branches, or in the axils of leaves, or rejilace single flowers in any kind of inflorescence.
