Cymose inflorescence is present in

  1. Solanum
  2. Sesbania
  3. Trifolium
  4. Brassica

Answer

(1) Solanum

Solution

In a cymose inflorescence the main axis terminates in a flower, so growth is limited.

As per NCERT (family Solanaceae), the inflorescence is solitary, axillary or cymose as in Solanum.

∵ Sesbania (Fabaceae) and Brassica (Brassicaceae) bear racemes, and Trifolium bears a head (racemose) ⇒ only Solanum is cymose.
