Question

Which one is the closest to corymb?

Answer 1

Corymb:

1. A flower cluster with flower stalks that are proportionally longer than the upper stalks, resulting in a flat or slightly convex head of flowers is known as Corymb.
2. Corymb is a botanical word describing an inflorescence in which the outermost blooms are carried on longer pedicels than the innermost, bringing all flowers up to the same level.
3. Flowers in a corymb structure can be in a convex or flat form and can be parallel or alternate.

Umbel:

1. A flower cluster is characterized by almost equal-length stalks that emerge from a shared center to form a flat or curved surface, as seen in the parsley family.
2. An umbel is a type of inflorescence that consists of several short flower stalks (called pedicels) that extend out from a central point, like umbrella ribs.
3. The word umbella comes from the Latin word umbrella, which means "parasol, sunshade." It was first used in botanical terminology in the 1590s.

Umbel is nearest to Corymb.
