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.
OvateOvate:
Egg-shaped with basal end the broadest.
and base truncate
Light yellow
Smooth
Enclosed in second glumeGlume:
The pair of chaffy bracts that occur at the base of a grass spikelet, often completely enclosing it.

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