A flat-topped or convex inflorescence where flowers on longer stalks from lower on the stem reach the same level as flowers on shorter stalks from higher positions. This creates an even display surface for pollinators.
From Greek 'korymbos' meaning 'cluster' or 'top, summit,' originally referring to ivy berries arranged in clusters. The botanical term was established in the 18th century to describe this specific type of leveled flower arrangement.
