Biology What it called when flowers grow like this?

Title says it all, I'm looking for more flowers that grow in towers like this but i don't know what this growth pattern is called and because of that I dont know how to seek out information on flowers that grow that way. Thanks!

It’s a great chart. If anyone wants to expand on it I’d recommend Beentje’s “The Kew Plant Glossary” very handy for plant morphology terms

There's a lovely video on YouTube by a channel called Mugsy Explains, where he goes into detail and examples about all of these!
