botany
Describing a flower cluster in which the central stem ends in a flower that opens first, with the side branches each ending in flowers that open later.

It is contrasted with clusters that keep lengthening and open from the bottom upward. A shorter relative of the same meaning is cymous, so the two are interchangeable in descriptions of plants.
