FloretFloret:
A small flower in a clustered inflorescence (e.g., sunflower, grasses). In grasses, a floret consists of the lemma, palea, stamens, and pistil.
Lanceolate
Brown floretFloret:
A small flower in a clustered inflorescence (e.g., sunflower, grasses). In grasses, a floret consists of the lemma, palea, stamens, and pistil. and a dark brown caryopsisCaryopsis:
The single-seeded fruit or grain of the grass family (Poaceae); the fruit wall (pericarp) is united with the seed coat (testa).
CallusCallus:
The hard base of grass florets or spikelets, just above the point of disarticulation.
and rachillaRachilla:
The axis of a spikelet.
are copiously long-pubescent.
Smooth; awnAwn:
A narrow, bristle-like organ, as on the glumes or lemmas of grasses (Poaceae).
the length of the floretFloret:
A small flower in a clustered inflorescence (e.g., sunflower, grasses). In grasses, a floret consists of the lemma, palea, stamens, and pistil. arises from near base.
Bulges up about midway
RachillaRachilla:
The axis of a spikelet. about half the length of the lemmaLemma:
One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla.
The floretsFloret:
A small flower in a clustered inflorescence (e.g., sunflower, grasses). In grasses, a floret consists of the lemma, palea, stamens, and pistil. are usually singular even though they are borne in two-flowered spikeletsSpikelet:
One or more florets that are subtended by a pair of bracts called glumes. Spikelets are pedicellate if located on a pedicle and sessile if attached directly to the rachis. Often spikelets with single florets have remnants of a second floret, usually a lemma.
. The awnAwn:
A narrow, bristle-like organ, as on the glumes or lemmas of grasses (Poaceae). is unusual by arising so near the floretFloret:
