Photo identity

I will be glad if someone can identify the species of this inflorescence Image:Inflorescence 1.jpg and put it. thanks. --vineeth 17:28, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Euphorbia pulcherrima (Poinsettia) - Marshman 18:06, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is, when i saw the picture of the bush , Image:Poinsettia_bush_belize.jpg i could identify it. I am not a biologist but very sure that the appearance of bush is same :) --vineeth 18:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate article

This article is very inaccurate.

Determinate/indeterminate: Explain better
Raceme: Should come before corymb
Cyme: Explain types
Head: It can also be determinate. Other inflorescences, like the cyathium (not mentoned!) are pseudanthia.
Spadex: Is a kind of spike
Ament and catkin are the same thing
Solitary: is not an inflorescence
The poinsettia has a corymb of cyathia, not florets
Many, many other things

Please, improve this article. Aelwyn 08:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some questions

Hi! I have some questions. This article has been completely re-written recently.

Don't you think articles like panicle, raceme, umbel, pedicel are now unuseful?
Do you think that cone doesn't belong here?
Should spadix ad catkin be listed in the 'Other' section and have their own for a more in-depth description, just like cyathium?
Is there a name in english for the spike-like inflorescence of Mentha longifolia (italian: spicastro, german: Scheinähre)
Do you think that the thyrse comes conceptually before the panicle?
Another name for Other section? Maybe 'Specialised inflorescences'?
Assessment? Still at Start level?

Question

This page refers to "definite" inflorescences. Should that read "determinate"? Nadiatalent (talk) 18:00, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly. I've asked for review much time ago, but it didn't help. I'm no native English speaker, so my only answer is 'possibly'. Sorry Aelwyn (talk) 19:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the Metatopy section, the example labeled "Recaulescence" shows a schematic that does not correspond to the actual structure shown by the real-world example, Tilia. Although it is not very clear in the photograph, in Tilia, the stalk supporting the inflorescence emerges from the middle of the blade-section of the bract. The schematic shows the entire bract on a side-stalk. Mmmeiss (talk) 13:04, 30 October 2008 (UTC)Martin M. Meiss[reply]

Why does "anthocarp" redirect here?
