racemes
Unbranched bloom arrangements
Racemes are flower clusters in which individual blooms attach by short stalks along a central stem, with the oldest flowers at the bottom and youngest at the top.
The structure appears in many familiar plants: lily of the valley, snapdragons, and wisteria all produce racemes.
Singular: raceme.
