Spikelet

A spikelet, in botany, describes the typical arrangement of the inflorescences of grasses, sedges and some other monocots.

Each spikelet has one or more florets.^[1]^: 12 The spikelets are further grouped into panicles or spikes. The part of the spikelet that bears the florets is called the rachilla.^[1]^: 13
