Enclosed by lemmaLemma:
One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla.
Weak awnAwn:
A narrow, bristle-like organ, as on the glumes or lemmas of grasses (Poaceae).
sometimes present; disarticulation by fracture.
If awnAwn:

One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla.
. Because disarticulation is by fracture, there is no well-developed callusCallus:
The hard base of grass florets or spikelets, just above the point of disarticulation.
