Inflorescence

The arrangement of flowers on a plant, or on stems or branches. This term may refer to the entire assemblage of flowers on a plant, or to individual collections of flowers on a single branch. In the latter case, the term may be applied to multiple instances on the same plant, as for example to "branch inflorescences".
