Meaning of "panicle" in English

A panicle is a type of inflorescence or cluster of flowers where the main axis is branched, and the branches bear further stalked flowers. This structure is common in many plants, particularly grasses and some grains, where the delicate airy arrangement is both decorative and functional, allowing for efficient pollen distribution. The stems on which the flowers are based grow in a compound way, forming an open, loosely branched cluster. Panicles are often found in ornamental plants, distinguishing them with their feather-like geometry.

Meaning of "panicule" in French
