Concept:Racemose inflorescence is a type of flowering arrangement where the main axis continues to grow indefinitely.
Key Fact:In racemose inflorescence, flowers develop laterally in an acropetal succession – older flowers at the base, younger ones at the tip.

Flowers are not solitary; they are arranged in clusters.
Growth is not limited; it is indefinite.
Thus, the correct description is that flowers are borne in an acropetal succession.
