1995
Robbertse, H. | Fivaz, J. | Menzel, C.
The architecture of the lychee tree and the structure of the inflorescence are described according to the terminology of Halle et al. and Weberling. The lychee tree has rhythmic modular growth and the inflorescence is a heterocladic pleiothyrsoid. Additional paracladia may develop from a second serial bud below the first-order paracladia. Male and female flowers are borne at variable positions on the dichasia. The relation between the position and gender of the flowers on the partial inflorescences (dichasia) varied with cultivar and time.
