Spikelets are small and few flowered spikes which are surrounded at the base by two scales or glumes. They occur in family Gramineae (e.g., Wheat Oat, Grass, etc.).
 

Compound Racemose:

It is an indefinite or indeterminate inflorescence in which the peduncle is branched in a racemose fashion with each branch bearing flowers in acropetal or centripetal fashion.

Panicle (Raceme of Racemes or Compound Raceme), e.g., Gold Mohur (Delonix), Cassia fistula, Asphodelus, Yucca, Neem (Azadirachta indica).
