Azalea Inflorescence
Rhododendron simsii Planch.
The azalea (Rhododendron simsii) inflorescence is a terminal umbellate raceme, typically bearing 1 to 4, rarely up to 6, flowers. The abundant formation of such inflorescences, capable of completely covering the foliage, is the main ornamental indicator of the crop.
In the reference 7 varieties crop Indica azalea, where this is mentioned in the description.
The botanical description of the azalea inflorescence classifies it as terminal, of the umbellate raceme type. When evaluating varieties for Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS), morphological parameters of the object, such as the overall shape and the number of flowers within the raceme, are taken into account.
In azalea cultivation, the quality of inflorescences depends directly on the growing conditions, especially on maintaining the temperature regime during the dormancy period, which is necessary for the successful initiation of flower buds. Flowering intensity and inflorescence density are regulated by light levels and the use of agrotechnical practices.
