Inflorescence morphology of <i>Lachiiaea</i> and <i>Cryptadenia</i> (Thymelaeaceae)
The current delimitation of Lachnaea L. and Cryptadenia Meisn. is based on the inflorescence morphology. In Lachnaea both indeterminate and determinate inflorescences occur, whereas in Cryptadenia only determinate inflorescences are present. The indeterminate inflorescences in Lachnaea are capitate...

| description | The current delimitation of Lachnaea L. and Cryptadenia Meisn. is based on the inflorescence morphology. In Lachnaea both indeterminate and determinate inflorescences occur, whereas in Cryptadenia only determinate inflorescences are present. The indeterminate inflorescences in Lachnaea are capitate or umbellate. The determinate inflorescences in both genera comprise a solitary, terminal flower. It is concluded that the two genera cannot be distinguished on inflorescence structure. |
