multiflora
Profusely flowering type
Multiflora means many-flowered, describing plants that produce numerous blossoms.
The term appears most often in *multiflora rose*, an Asian shrub introduced to North America as erosion control and living fence that became aggressively invasive: The multiflora rose has taken over the hedgerow.
The word combines Latin roots for "many" and "flower."
