Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Plant draw inflorescences male group

Male inflorescence angle of branch with main stem: The angle between the main inflorescence stem and each 'branch' of the inflorescence -- that is, each secondary inflorescence stem. Panicle inflorescences have branches; racemes do not.

Male inflorescence angle of pedicel with main stem: The angle between the main inflorescence stem and each single flower stalk or pedicel.

Male inflorescence apical stalk length: The length of the main inflorescence stem before the first flower if the male inflorescences for this plant are apical (at the apex or end of a plant stem).

Male inflorescence branches are alternate: If the branches on the inflorescence are alternate (one to the left, then one to the right, etc). If this is answered 'no', the branches on the inflorescence (if any) will be drawn opposite (in pairs).

Male inflorescence days for all flowers to develop: The number of days it takes to create the flowers on a male inflorescence. Flowers are created without accumulating biomass beforehand. They begin to demand biomass as soon as they are created, to open from buds to flowers and then to grow to full size.

Male inflorescence flowers develop from top to bottom: If 'yes' the flowers on the male inflorescences on this plant develop in order from the top to the bottom (basipetal). If answered 'no', flowers develop from the bottom to the top (acropetal).

Male inflorescence flowers spiral around main stem: If 'yes' the flowers on the male inflorescences on this plant are drawn using the same phyllotaxis (spiraling) around the inflorescence stem (and branches) as is used for the main stem. If 'no' the flowers are drawn without spiraling.

Male inflorescence internode length (between flowers): The length of the segments of the main inflorescence stem between pedicels (flower stalks). Similar to the internode length for the entire plant. For an umbelliferous flower, make this number very small; for a raceme or spike make this number larger.

Male inflorescence is apical: The male inflorescences for this plant are apical (at the apex or end of a plant stem).

Male inflorescence is head type (like sunflower): The male inflorescences for this plant are of the composite type. The small disc flowers are drawn in a circle, each with one petal that looks something like a ray flower. This is not botanically accurate but looks right.

Male inflorescence maximum days for meristem to create: The number of days a reproductive meristem will accumulate biomass towards creation of an inflorescence before it gives up and creates a smaller inflorescence. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on newer meristems.

Male inflorescence maximum days to grow: The number of days a male inflorescence will attempt to accumulate biomass to reach its optimal biomass (after its creation) before it stops growing. This simulates the plant's concentration of resources on the demands of newer plant parts.

Male inflorescence minimum days for meristem to create: The shortest number of days in which a reproductive meristem can produce an inflorescence, no matter how much biomass is available. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Male inflorescence minimum days to grow: The shortest number of days in which a male inflorescence can possibly reach its optimal biomass after its creation. This simulates physical limitations on the rate of growth.

Male inflorescence minimum fraction of optimal biomass needed to create: The smallest fraction of the optimal (best) amount of male inflorescence biomass that must be accumulated before a male inflorescence can be created.

Male inflorescence minimum fraction of optimal biomass needed to make flowers: The smallest fraction of the optimal (best) amount of male inflorescence biomass that must be accumulated before a male inflorescence can begin to create flowers.

Male inflorescence number of branches: The number of secondary inflorescence stems on a male inflorescence for this plant. For spikes, racemes and umbels, this number should be zero. For panicles, this number depends on the number of flowers. Tertiary branches cannot be drawn.

Male inflorescence number of flowers: The number of flowers on a male inflorescence for this plant. This number of flowers will be produced whenever an inflorescence is produced, with no variation.

Male inflorescence optimal biomass: The biomass (dry weight) of a complete or best male inflorescence.

Male inflorescence pedicel (flower stalk) length: The length of each pedicel or flower stalk in a male inflorescence.

Male inflorescence peduncle (primary stalk) length: The length of the primary inflorescence stem before the first flower stalk (pedicel) if the male inflorescences for this plant are axillary (coming out of the leaf axils on plant stems).

Male inflorescence stalk color: The color of the male inflorescence stems on this plant.

Male inflorescence stem width: The width of the male inflorescence stems on this plant.
