OverviewInflorescence originates from the Latin word inflorescere meaning to flower or to blossom. In botanical terms, inflorescence refers to a group of flowers on a plant stem in a specific arrangement differing in complexity from a simple, solitary flower to the intricate branching patterns of multi-flowered umbels, racemes and panicles. This book reaches beyond the title 's literal meaning through the use of 681 full-color photographs of 227 specimens representing 160 genera and 69 families displaying both the core morphology and simple, raw beauty of select Wyoming plants. These images reveal the essence of floral structure and form.Each specimen has its own page and is illustrated using three images: a flattened or pressed view showing gross morphology, a dissected examination revealing minute details, and either a close shot of the flowers or an image of the plant in its natural habitat. Each page also contains a distribution map showing the geographic range of the specimen in Wyoming and a label containing the scientific name, common name, and the family to which it belongs.
