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 #See Panicule* foot-stalks, hence termed a diffuse panicle*. The term is exemplified in several of the grasses, particularly in some species of the poa, fescue grass, and agrostis.
