Abstract: | Boraginaceae have erroneously been associated with helicoid cymes, when upon closer inspection they exclusively possess scorpioid cymes (cincinni). A discussion of the inflorescence structure in Boraginaceae is presented with the help of an overview of monochasial branching systems and a three-dimensional representation thereof. Reasons for the incorrect description of Boraginaceae inflorescences are also provided. |
