Abstract

The inflorescence architecture of twenty accessions ofJasminumsambac(Oleaceae) collected from various parts of Kerala was studied. The basic simple three-flowered dichasium diversified in both forward and backward directions through addition or suppression of lateral branches along with terminal or lateral monochasial branching. A maximum of two lateral branches led only up to nine flowers. The species appears to be in the intermediate stages of evolutionary advancement, along both reduction as well as progressive lines, with regard to inflorescence architecture. Progressive elaboration of inflorescence spread appears to be slowed down here, by the restriction of lateral branching.
