Cyathium: Inflorescence Of The Euphorbiaceae Family- One of the largest genera of flowering plants is  Euphorbia  with approximately 2,000 species. This enormous genus belongs to the very diverse euphorbia family (Euphorbiaceae) with at least 7,500 species. The variation within this genus is astonishing, from low-growing garden weeds called spurges to giant, cactus-like succulents that rival in size our North American sahuaro and organ-pipe cacti. South African euphorbias have evolved succulent, spine-covered stems that greatly resemble North American cacti, a biological phenomenon known as convergent evolution. It is difficult to believe that all these diverse forms belong to the same genus as the showy garden euphorbia called poinsettia ( E. pulcherrima ) until you carefully examine the blossom.

Hypanthodium Inflorescence : In this type of  inflorescence  the receptacle forms a hollow cavity with an apical opening guarded by scales. Here the flowers are borne on the inner wall of the cavity. The flowers are unisexual, the female flowers develop at the base of the cavity and the male flowers towards the apical pore/ostiole.
Image
Capitulum  or Head: In this type of  inflorescence  the main axis or receptacle becomes suppressed, and almost flat, and the flowers (also known as florets) are sessile (without stalk) so that they become crowded together on the flat surface of the receptacle.
