Verticellaster is a type of inflorescence found in Leucas. At each node of the stem, two axillary opposite cymose inflorescences develop on either side. The cyme in the axil of each leaf, starts as a dichasial cyme but subsequently become monochasial scorpioid cyme. The cyme bends round the stem on either side and meets a similar cyme from the opposite side. At each node, cluster of flowers are completely surrounding the stem.
