Abstract
The inflorescences of Macroptilium prostratum (BENTH.) URBAN var. pros tratum, M. fraternum (PIPER) LACKEY, M. lathyroides (L.) URBAN and M. atropurpureum (L.) URBAN were typologically investigated. All these sp ecies are characterized by truncate, polytelic synflorescences and by synflorescence proliferation. The secondary paracladia are reduced to their coflorescences.
