raceme

Unbranched floral arrangement

A raceme is a type of flower cluster where individual blooms attach by short stalks along a central stem, with the oldest flowers at the bottom and youngest at the top.

Lilacs, snapdragons, and lily of the valley grow in racemes.

The term is botanical but occasionally appears in poetry and literary description.
