East Indian lemongrass
SpikeletSpikelet:
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.
Narrowly ellipticElliptic:
Outline of an ellipse; greatest width midway sloping to an equally pointed apex and base.
Brown
Smooth
Papery, covered by glumesGlume:
The pair of chaffy bracts that occur at the base of a grass spikelet, often completely enclosing it.

A segment of the central axis of the inflorescence (rachis). In some species (e.g. Andropogon) separation of the sessile spikelets occurs when the rachis disarticulates at the spikelet bases leaving the segment of the rachis between spikelets attached to the lower spikelet.
and pedicelPedicel:
The stalk within an inflorescence supporting a single flower or spikelet.

An awnAwn:
A narrow, bristle-like organ, as on the glumes or lemmas of grasses (Poaceae).
