Meaning of "racemose" in English

"Racemose" is an adjective used primarily in botanical contexts to describe a structure that resembles a raceme, which is a type of inflorescence. In a racemose inflorescence, the flowers are arranged along a central axis, with new flowers continuously forming at the apex as the older ones mature and move down. This structure is typical in plants such as grapes and some lilies. The term emphasizes the arrangement and growth pattern, distinguishing it from other types of flower clusters.
