Such an inflorescence is termed a cyme, and has again 

 many varieties. Examples are seen in the single flowered 

 inflorescence of the wood anemone, or the many flowered 

 cymes of the buttercup, the bramble, stitchwort, the 

 henbane, the rock rose, and in the verticillasters of the 

 dead-nettle and box. 



A mixed inflorescence is a term applied to collections 

 of flowers which exhibit both of the foregoing types. For 

 instance, the inflorescence of the dead-nettle is indefinite, 

 taking the whorls of flowers as a whole, the lowest whorl of 

 flowers opening first ; whilst each individual group of flowers 

 is a verticillaster, the innermost flowers opening first. The 

 same thing occurs in most of the Compositae, each capitulum 

 is indefinite ; but the arrangement of the whole system of 

 inflorescences is definite, the terminal capitulum is first to 

 open. It must be remembered that in speaking of double 

 flowers we are apt to apply the term to the flower-heads of 

 daisies and dahlias, etc., whereas they are in reality groups 

 of single corollas, whole inflorescences with rayed corollas 

 which are often taken for petals.
