Agenda

Revisions to inflorescence branch terms & axis terms

• Propose that inflorescence branch (PO:0009081) be renamed higher order inflorescence axis, and that each order of inflorescence branch be renamed using its corresponding inflorescence axis exact synonym; for example, third order inflorescence branch would be renamed its current synonym, fourth order inflorescence axis.
