A flower cluster in the shape of an umbrella. (see: Inflorescence graphic.)

An inflorescence in which a number of divergent flowers arises from the same point.

an inflorescence of pedicellate flowers of almost equal length arising from the apex of the peduncle.

a compound flower with stems arising and radiating from one point of attachment.

A group of flowers or fruit whose stalks have a common point of attachment.

when individual flower stalks rise from the same point.

n. (L. umbella, dim. of umbra shadel) an arrangement of flowers springing from a common center and forming a flat or rounded cluster.

A determinate, usualy convex flower-cluster, with all the pedicels arising from the same point.

indeterminate inflorescence having a rounded or flat top, with the pedicles and peduncles arising from the same point; resembles the stays of an umbrella

Type of flower cluster in which the pedicels arise from a common point and are about equal in length.

An inflorescence where several roughly equal flower stalks radiate from a common point at the top of a short axis. The appearance can be like an umbrella.

Usually a flat-topped flower cluster, with pedicels and peduncles arising from a common point, resembling the supports of an umbrella.

A flat or rounded topped flower in which several flowers stalks originate from a single point on the plant.

An indeterminate, convex or flat-topped i` in which the pedicels of the cluster arise from a common point [Go to source

ombelle a flower cluster where the pedicels rise from the top of the main stem to form a flat or rounded cluster.

a type of inflorescence in which the flower stalks arise from the same level

A flower grouping with individual flower stalks or floral groupings radiating from a central axis; often flat-topped and umbrella-like.

A more or less flat topped flower cluster in which the pedicels (rays) arise from a common point. In compound umbels, each primary ray terminates in a secondary umbel

A flat or slightly rounded, circular cluster of flowers that are on branches that radiate from a single point. They look like an umbrella.

flat-topped or rounded inflorescence characteristic of the family Umbelliferae in which the individual flower stalks arise from about the same point; youngest flowers are at the center

a clustering of flowers in which each flower stalk grows from the same point at the top of the stem, an arrangement that looks much like the ribs of an umbrella turned inside-out

a flower cluster where the flower "stems" (peduncles) spring from the same level

an infloresence in which all the flowers are borne upon pedicels of equal length arising from a common centre

a type of raceme with a short axis and multiple floral pedicels of equal length that appear to arise from a common point

a type or raceme with a short axis and multiple floral pedicels that appear to arisefrom a common point

A flat or rounded flower cluster in which the stalks radiate from the same point, like the ribs of an umbrella.

A flower cluster in which the individual flower stalks arise from a common point, like the rays of an umbrella.

Cluster of unbranched stemmed flowers all coming from one point blooming at about the same time. Flat or rounded.

A flower cluster in which the individual flower stalks grow from the same point, like the ribs of an umbrella.

simple inflorescence of flowers on stalks which radiate from the same point.

Botanical: A type of Inflorescence in which equal pedicles proceed from a common centre.

inflorescence with sessile or pedicellate flowers arising from the top of a peduncle; a simple inflorescence is a single umbel; a compound inflorescence has several to many umbels as subunits of the whole

An inflorescence in which the individual pedicels all arise from the apex of the peduncle.

inflorescence in which all pedicels arise from the same point at the top of the peduncle

A cluster of flowers in which the flower stalks arise from the same level.

The umbrella-like form of inflorescence in which the peduncles or pedicles all arise from one point. (click here to see an umbel)

A flat-topped or rounded flower cluster with the flowers on stalks (pedicels) arising from a common point.   See drawing of inflorescence types.

a racemose inflorescence in which all the individual flower stalks arise in a cluster at the top of the peduncle and are of about equal length.

flat topped inflorescence, stems arise from common point.

A convex or flat-topped inflorescence where the flowers are attached at one point and the youngest flowers are in the center.

A type of inflorescence in which flowers diverge from the same point.

an umbrella-like inflorescence.

An inflorescence with pedicels or flower stalks or both, nearly equal in length and arising from a common point; umbrella shaped.

type of inflorescence in which the various pedicels spring from the same point and reach almost the same height; umbrella shaped.

A kind of flower cluster ( inflorescence) in which the flower stalks ( pedicles) arise from the same point, like the ribs of an umbrella, e.g. parsley.

Inflorescnece (flower) with the stalks arising from one point, usually the terminal point

Umberella-like arrangement of flowers, all flower stems arising from same point

a flat-topped inflorescence with pedicels arising from the same point; umbrella-like

a branched floral structure resembling an (upside-down) umbrella.

A part of the plant bearing flowers in which all the flower stalks are of similar length and arise from the same point.

(umbellate) An inflorescence in which the pedicels all arise from the same point at the top of a stem.

A flat-topped flower cluster in that all the flower stalks radiate from the same point, like the ribs of an umbrella.

A flat-topped or rounded inflorescence in which the pedicels arise from a common point.

The umbel is the flat-topped mass of flowers on stalks, where the stalks are of equal size.

An arrangement of flowers springing from a common center and forming a flat or rounded cluster. Striking examples of North Country plants bearing their flowers in umbels would include Joe Pye Weed ( Eupatorium maculatum) and Cow Parsnip ( Heracleum lantana). From the Latin, umbella, diminutive of umbra, "shade."

An umbel is an inflorescence which consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) which are equal in length and spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs.
