spikelets
Tiny grain clusters
Spikelets are the basic flowering units of grasses and related plants, consisting of tiny flowers clustered on a small stem.
Each spikelet contains one or more florets enclosed by protective scales called glumes.
The term appears mainly in botanical descriptions: The wheat head is composed of numerous spikelets arranged along the central stalk.
