A densely packed cluster or ball-like grouping of flowers or structures; an archaic or botanical term for a compact inflorescence.
From Latin glomus meaning 'ball of thread' or 'clump.' The word describes anything wound or clustered tightly together.
A glome is nature's way of maximizing pollinator attraction—by packing hundreds of tiny flowers into a dense ball, plants like clover guarantee that insects will land on multiple flowers at once, making reproduction super efficient.
