The word "inflorescence" is correct and well written in English.
It is used in botany to describe the arrangement of flowers on a plant. Example: "The inflorescence of the sunflower consists of a large head surrounded by smaller flowers." Alternatives include "flower cluster" or "flower arrangement."
When flowers are clustered into an inflorescence, each flower is attached to the main peduncle by a short stem known as a pedicel, as seen in this photo of a lily of the valley.
The primary inflorescence of grasses is the spikelet, a small structure consisting of a short axis, the rachilla, to which are attached chaffy, two-ranked, closely overlapping scales.
It also has been suggested that the four-valved cupule of Nothofagus is derived from the four stipules at the base of the two bracts borne beneath the inflorescence.
There are several types of nectaries in the orchids, including extrafloral types that secrete nectar on the outside of the buds or inflorescence (flower cluster) while the flower is developing.
The plant can attain a height of 4 metres (about 13 feet) and has a stout red-spotted stem and a white inflorescence up to 0.5 meter (20 inches) in diameter.
An inflorescence of this family can have more than 1,000 individual flowers (florets), and the heads can be grouped into more complex, secondary arrangements called capitulescences.
The inflorescence may be few flowered or have up to 6,000,000 flowers, as in certain palms.
In intercalary inflorescences, the stem continues beyond the inflorescence, which may result in alternating fertile and sterile areas of the axis.
Most of the members of Vitaceae are vines or lianas, and they are usually characterized by swollen leaf nodes and by tendrils or flat-topped flower clusters (cymes; see inflorescence) that emerge on the opposite side of the stem from the leaf.
The inflorescences often have flowers borne along one side of the inflorescence branch, and the small flowers are pointed in bud and have very clearly regularly overlapping petals.
The reduction of an inflorescence to a single spikelet has occurred repeatedly in different evolutionary lines, usually in conjunction with a reduction in the size of the plant or as an adaptation to extreme habitats, or both.
