The arrangement of flowers on floral axis is called inflorescence. A flower is a modified shoot wherein shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem. Two types of inflorescence are there depending on whether apex gets converted into flower or continues to grow:- Racemose:-main axis continues to grow Cymose:-main axis terminates in flower

Flower has 4 different type of whorls arranged successfully on stalk called thalamus or receptacle. 4 whorls are calyx, corolla, androecium and gynoecium. Calyx and corolla –accessory organ Androecium and gynoecium-reproductive organ. When flower has both androecium+gynoecium it is bisexual. A flower having a stamen or a carpal is unisexual.

Flower may be actinomorphic (radial symmetry)or zygomorphic(bilateral symmetry). When a flower can be divided into two equal halves in radial plane-actinomorphic e.g. mustard. When a flower can be divide into two equal in vertical plane-zygomorphic e.g,pea,gulmohar,bean If it cannot be divided into two equal halves by any plane-asymmetric.eg canna

Trimerous:-3 floral appendages Tetramerous:-4 floral appendages Pentamerous:- 5 floral appendages Bracteate:- flower with bracts. Ebracteate:-flower without bracteate. Based on position flowers are of following types:- Hypogynous:- gynoecium occupies highest position and other all are below it. ovary in such flower is called superior eg mustard. Perigynous:-gynoecium situated at the centre and other part are located at rim of thalamus. Ovary here is half inferior. Epigynous:-ovary here is inferior margin of thalamus grows upward enclosing ovary and getting fused with it eg, guava
