Question

______ is an example of racemose inflorescence.

• A. Clerodendron
• B. Hibiscus
• C. Jasmine
• D. Caesalpini

Answer 1

The correct option is D Caesalpini

• In racemose inflorescence the axis is of unlimited growth, apical bud continues to grow. Thus oldest flowers are found at the base and youngest towards the top. These are of different types such as, raceme, panicle, spike, spadix, etc. eg: Delphinium, Brassica Campestris, caesalpini.
  
• In cymose inflorescence the main axis has limited growth, being terminated by the formation of a flower. Thus, oldest flower is either in the center or flowers of different ages are mixed up. These are of various types such as monochasial, dichasial, polychasial etc. eg: Allium, Clerodendron, Hibiscus, Jasmine.
  

So, the correct option is 'Caesalpini'.
