Cymose is a type of inflorescence in which the main axis terminates in a flower and futher growth continues by one or more lateral branches. This type of inflorescence can be seen in Solanaceae.
Whereas racemose is a type of inflorescence in which main axis of inflorescence has an indefinite growth and it gives rise to flowers in acropetal or centripetal order.
