One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla.

This species is found with both 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.
