Flowering analysis of Campanula sarmatica, Campanulaceae family at the level of individual shoots was performed. It has been established that the flowering curves of C. sarmatica shoots are bimodal. The first peak corresponds to the flowering of the main axis, and the second to the lateral axes of the inflorescence. Flowering curves have noticeable individual differences in the heights of the main peaks, due to the difference in the number of flowers on the main axis and lateral axes on different shoots. The found mechanism of the formation of the curves makes it possible to extract the type of inflorescence (botryoid or panicle) and estimate the number of lateral axes directly from the flowering curve for any observed shoot.
