CONGLOMERATE Flowers, are those growing on a branching foot-stalk, to which they are irregularly but closely connected. This mode of inflorescence, as Linnaeus terms it, is opposed to that in which the flowers are irregularly and loosely supported on their foot-stalks, hence termed a diffuse panicle*. The* Sue Panicle is exemplified in several of the grasses, particularly in some species of the pea, fescue grass, and agriflax.
