Open in App
Solution
Acropetal order:
Acropetal order is a flower arrangement in which the new flowers are at the top, and the older flowers are at the bottom.
The main axis grows in racemose inflorescences, and the flowers are borne laterally in acropetal order.
Basipetal order:
The arrangement of older flowers at the apex and fresh flowers and buds at the base is known as basipetal order.
The primary axis of a cymose inflorescence terminates in a flower, limiting its expansion.
The flowers grow in a basipetal pattern.
