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 with thin light brown veins
Sterile lemmasLemma:
One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla.
copiously pubescentPubescent:
Having hairs.
; fertile lemmaLemma:
One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla. hairy at top half.
Laterally compressed; hard; covers paleaPalea:
One of the thin bracts of grass floret enclosing the fruit (caryopsis) that is located on the side opposite the embryo.
.
Laterally compressed, hard; mostly concealed by lemmaLemma:
One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla..
Two short sterile lemmasLemma:
One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla. are on either edge 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..
Some texts call this unit a 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.
because of the presence of the sterile lemmasLemma:
One of two bracts of the grass floret; it is located on the side nearest the embryo and opposite the rachilla.. Aside from the pubescence, the surface is shiny and smooth. The glumesGlume:
The pair of chaffy bracts that occur at the base of a grass spikelet, often completely enclosing it.
when present are only slightly winged on keels.
