panicle
Loose flower arrangement
A panicle is a loosely branching cluster of flowers, where each branch bears multiple smaller stems with individual blooms—like oats, lilacs, or many grasses.
The term distinguishes this open, compound arrangement from simpler flower clusters like spikes or umbels.
The rice panicles drooped heavy with grain.
