Raceme

In these plants, a single stem (called a culm) produces multiple flowers at the top, forming a raceme.<br><br>In other words, a raceme is a type of flower arrangement where multiple small flowers are clustered together along a central stem, often with new flowers emerging from the bottom of the cluster as older ones fade.
Racemic
A term used in chemistry and stereochemistry, "racemic" refers to a mixture of two enantiomers, which are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
