![Flowers may be solitary when borne singly, each flower subtended by a foliage leaf, or they
may be variously grouped into an inflorescence, several flowers in a cluster borne on a common axis

(Fig.3). Solitary flowers may be pedicelled when supplied with a stalk or pedicel, or sessile when the
pedicel is absent. The stalk of the inflorescence is the peduncle.
According to insertion a solitary flower or an inflorescence is terminal, when it terminates a
branch; axillary when borne in the axils of the leaves; extra-axillary when borne on the internodes
between the nodes or axils, leaf-opposed when borne opposite a leaf; cauline when borne on the stem
below the leaves; and radical when seemingly borne on the root but actually borne on a very short
stem with very short internodes. In an inflorescence that is radical in position the peduncle is referred
to as a scape and the plant scapose.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F53bf0834-ca57-4c75-b5f9-e99cb7c296d3%2F5e0ac201-9276-4e78-b89d-4e171f65b56b%2Fug7h2w_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
