racemose have no terminal flower and a potentially continuously growing apex, with flowers produced laterally from the main axis, the oldest flowers being the most lateral or lowermost ones lCymose Inflorescence the terminal bud becomes a flower; and since no further elongation can occur, theoretically the growth of the inflorescence is predetermined.
Inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on a plant. It refers to the structure that holds the flowers and can vary in form depending on the plant species. Examples of inflorescence types include racemes, spikes, panicles, and umbels.
Cymose inflorescence shows determinate growth.

racemose and cymose
in racemaose the main axis continues to grow the flowers are borne laterally in an acropetal sucession(mature in middle) whereas in cymose the main axis terminates in a flower and hence limited gowth. flowers are borne in basipetal order(mature at the tip)

cymose inflorescence (cyme; definite inflorescence) A type of flowering shoot (see inflorescence) in which the first-formed flower develops from the growing region at the top of the flower stalk
Inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on a plant. It refers to the structure that holds the flowers and can vary in form depending on the plant species. Examples of inflorescence types include racemes, spikes, panicles, and umbels.
The type of inflorescence can significantly influence fruit type because it determines how flowers are arranged and developed on a plant. For instance, in racemose inflorescences, multiple flowers bloom along a central axis, often leading to cluster fruits like berries. Conversely, cymose inflorescences have a more limited flowering pattern that can result in unique fruit types like drupes, where the development is more sequential. Thus, the arrangement and timing of flower maturation in different inflorescence types play a critical role in the resulting fruit characteristics.
Racemose:in racemose inflorescence the peduncle continues to grow until last flower is formed at its tip. The older floer are towards the base and the younger ones towards the apex. In certain cases peduncle may be flattend and older flowers are towards the margin and younger ones are in the center. Racemose inflorescence has flowing types:1- Typical Raceme:in a typical raceme the main axis is elongated and bears laterally a number of flowers. each flower has a pedicel or stalk e.g,cassia fistula(amaltas).2- Spicke:it is a racemose infloresence in which the main axis is elongated raceme but the flowers are sessile are sessile i.e., without pedicel (stalk). eg. Achyranthus(puth kanda) and bottle brush.3- Catkin:it is the spike that usually bears only pistillate or staminate flower e.g. mulberry and willow.4- Corymb:in corymb the main axis is comparatively short and stalks of the lower flowers ere longer than upper younger ones. Therefore all the flowers lie at the same level e.g. Iberis(candytuft).5- Umbel:In this type of inflorescence, main axis is shortened. Flowers are stalked. Pedicels are of equal size, therefore, all the flowers seems to be arising from nearly the same level e.g. Hydrocotyl(brahmi booti), and Onion etc.in some cases a number of umbels are persent on the tip of the main axis such a compound inflorescence is called umbel of umbel of compound umel e.g carrot.6- capitulum:the capitulum or head is an inflorescence in which the flowers are sessile and croweded togather on a very short axis. it looks like a single flower. e.g. Sunflower and other members of family compositae.7-panicle:a branched raceme is called a panicle. e.g, grapes and oat.
Cymose inflorescence shows determinate growth.
An anthela is a cymose corymb - a cluster of flowers with a flat or convex top - with the lateral flowers higher than the central flowers.
