Fascicle (botany)

The inflorescence of the barnacle ( Dianthus barbatus ) was described by Carl von Linné as a fascicle

As a fascicle (from Latin fasciculus "small bundle, parcel") an inflorescence is sometimes referred to, in which several flowers stand close together on inflorescences of approximately the same length. This is a description that relates exclusively to the external appearance of the inflorescence, but is not linked to a specific morphological structure. So it is not a type of inflorescence in the strict sense.
