spicately

adv

1. Having the form of a spike, or ear; arranged in a spike or spikes.

   “Leaves dilated, verticillate or alternate flowers; racemose or spicately racemose.”

   “The arrangement of individual inflorescence units is highly variable in Nivenia and Aristea but the ancestral condition is most likely racemose (Goldblatt, 1993a,b) with lateral inflorescences borne on short lateral branches (sessile lateral branches, thus spicately arranged, are considered homologous)”

   “They consist of spicately or paniculately arranged glomerules of flowers.”
