Pictorial presentation of a compound raceme of the garden pea, resulting in two, three and five flowers per peduncle at specific nodes.
Green arrows indicate indeterminate growth of the inflorescence stem (I; I1); Green ovals represent leaves; Yellow circles represent flowers; Pink triangles are stubs terminating at each secondary inflorescence (I2) axis; VM: Vegetative meristem; IM: Inflorescence meristem; I1M: Primary inflorescence meristem; I2M: Secondary inflorescence meristem; FM: Floral meristem; NFI: First node of flower initiation.
