Hello. I don't necessarily agree with this move, and would like to discuss moving it back or renaming the article simply Cannabis cultivation if conciseness is all that is desired. Marijuana is a slang term and should not be preferred for the name of this article. —Whig (talk) 22:55, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

You must gain consensus before making such a controversial move, i have moved it to cultivation of cannabis, I suggest you join in the talk discussion re moving it to marijuana, which is a slangy US term for cannabis. i for one strongly oppose such a move. Thanks, SqueakBox talk 16:21, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Marking an edit as "minor" (example) does not mean "small change". The official line is at Help:Minor edit but generally a minor edit is a typo fix, or uncontroversial grammar fix such as inserting a comma, or fixing a bad link. I'm just letting you know my opinion for you to consider; there is no need to reply. I undid the above change, for reasons totally unrelated to it being marked as minor. Let's discuss any differences about the article over at Talk:Polymorphism (biology), but I'll say here that I was a bit picky about the edit because I think there have been too many changes to the established article in recent times.

Hi Rick. Just to say that I've commented on your (now reverted) merge of primary production over here. Cheers, --PLUMBAGO 08:47, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi again Rick. You might like to take a look at the productivity article. I think that might benefit from your input. Cheers, --PLUMBAGO 11:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Inflorescence (inflorescere: to begin to bloom) refers to either the process of flowering in angiosperms or any flowering part of those, as in flower cluster or other arrangement. In the context of botany, it is a subfield of plant morphology. Flowering plants can be classified according to their mode of inflorescence and specifically the geometric arrangement, maturation pattern and anatomy of their flowers, flower-bearing stalks, bracts and leaves.^[1][2] Although helpful, such taxonomy may become composite to the point that discrete order vanishes, thus reflecting the existence of an "inflorescence continuum". Furthermore, the scientific community has yet to reach consensus on terminology.^[3]

The central axis supporting an entire inflorescence is called peduncle or rachis but this designation is relative. The peduncle may be identical to the primary stem or be part of a lateral branch. The stalk that directly bears a flower is called pedicel and may be lengthy or almost non-existent.^[3]

Bracts are leaf-like organs that subtend a pedicel, a flower axis, a flower, or a group or cluster of flowers. They are typically (but not always) specialized and may organize into conspicuous, aggregational structures (as in circular whorls or rosettes) called involucres (if below an entire inflorescence) or involucels (if below a unit of inflorescence). A spathe is a large, often colored bract that encloses and protects the inflorescence.^[2][3][4]

Growth is said to be indeterminate when the apical meristem of a shoot has potential for unlimited growth by remaining active at all times. Growth is determinate when the shoot terminates, either by inactivation of the apical meristem or conversion into a functional complex (as in flower, fruit, thorn, tendril and the like).^[3]

Determinate inflorescence is one whose peduncle follows determinate growth and hence terminates in a flower. Usually the terminal flower matures first with subsequent basipetal maturation. An indeterminate inflorescence is one whose peduncle follows indeterminate growth. Usually it follows acropetal maturation and lateral branches terminate in a flower.^[3]

A maturation pattern is acropetal when it occurs from the base towards the apex. Accordingly, basipetal maturation develops towards the base and divergent follows two opposite directions, one acropetal and one basipetal. Other patterns include centrifugal (flowers of the peduncle mature first and lateral flowers last) and centripetal maturation.^[3][5]

A whorl is a circular arrangement of similar anatomical parts (as leaves or flowers) around an axial point.^[2]

Inflorescence is said to be:^[3][6][5]

• Axillary, if it arises from the axil of the nearest vegetative leaf.
• Terminal, if it arises form the tip of a terminal shoot that gave rise to the nearest vegetative leaves.
• Cauliflorous, if it grows directly from a woody stem or trunk.
• Scapose if it consists of one or more flowers on an essentially leafless peduncle, usually arising from a basal rosette.
