<h2 id="corymb">Corymb</h2>
<p>A <a href="/facts/Corymb/IERjACuJ">corymb</a> may have a paniculate branching structure, with the lower flowers having longer <a href="/facts/Pedicel_(botany)/qPgkGFkJ">pedicels</a> than the upper, thus giving a flattish top superficially resembling an <a href="/facts/Umbel/hASc38KG">umbel</a>. Many species in the subfamily <a href="/facts/Amygdaloideae/KEXNCE8Y">Amygdaloideae</a>, such as <a href="/facts/Crataegus/SI3RcAJS">hawthorns</a> and <a href="/facts/Rowan/JYmRIerW">rowans</a>, produce their flowers in corymbs.
