panicle
n.
loose cluster of flowers (Botany)
Panicle
A panicle is a compound
raceme, a loose, much-branched indeterminate
inflorescence with
pedicellate flowers (and
fruit) attached along the secondary branches (in other words, a branched cluster of flowers in which the branches are racemes). This type of inflorescence is largely characteristic of grasses like
oat and
crabgrass, as well as other plants such as
pistachio and
mamoncillo. Botanists use the term paniculate in two ways: "having a true panicle inflorescence" as well as "having an inflorescence with the form but not necessarily the structure of a panicle".
