racemose

Inflorescences racemose, axillary, 2-3 flowered; bracts green, filiform to lanceolate, 4-10 X 0.5-1.5 mm; pedicel 3-9 mm long.

Inflorescences axillary, racemose, (5-) 7-15 flowered, 4-9 cm long; bracts lanceolate, 3.8-5 mm long, deciduous, tomentulose, margin glabrous; pedicel 1.2-3 cm long; extrafloral nectaries 1, fusiform, stipitate, located at the base of the pedicel, 1.6-2 x c.

It produces abundant rose colored flowers at the tips of aerial stems in dense racemose spikesthat bloom during spring into early summer followed by development of small capsuled fruits that split to release seeds (Cook 1979).

The aggressive form is racemose cysticercosis in which sheets of parasites spill out into the sub-arachnoid space severely impairing CSF drain-age.

Inflorescence lateral, developing from the base of the upper sheaths of the pseudobulb, 1-2 per pseudobulb and flowering season, longer than the leaf, arching, 10-13 cm long, apparently racemose but rather a panicle since it presents very short branches measuring 3 mm long; peduncle erect, cylindrical, as long as the leaf, 6 cm long, at the base with a tubular bract 3-5 mm long; rachis 7.5-8 cm long, bearing 8-12 flowers which open successively.

Plants of the genus are terrestrial or lithophytic, rosetofilous; the leaves armed with spines or less often, finely serrulate, as short as 20 cm but usually longer and up to 1.5 m long; the inflorescences are lateral or terminal, racemose or more commonly paniculate, from 50 cm high and in some cases up to 2.5-3 m long, with numerous, minute (6-7.5 mm long) flowers; these mostly with white petals, more rarely petals bluish, lilac, green, red or yellowish.

It is characterized as terrestrial or saxicolous, with well-developed rhizomes, slightly succulent, long and canaliculate narrow leaves, inflorescence simple and racemose, sepals and petal free and stamen enclosed.

Racemose cysticercosis, a phenomenon in which cysticerci continue to grow and proliferate through tissue, may also have a poor prognosis.

Inflorescences racemose or tirsoid, terminal, axillary or cauliflorous.

Complex racemose type of villo-adenomatous polyp with pseudostratification and mitotic figures in both villous and adenomatous component.

The inflorescences of Paleotrapa are racemose, unlike the solitary flowers in Trapa.
