In botany, relating to a cyme; describing a type of flower cluster where the main stem ends in a single terminal flower.
From Latin cyma (the young stem of a plant) + -ose (full of). A botanical term standardized in plant classification to describe specific growth and flowering patterns.
Cymose flowers grow in a sneaky way—the main branch stops and makes a flower, then the side branch takes over and does the same, creating a balanced but strategic arrangement!
