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. The spikelets are further grouped into panicles or spikes. The part of the spikelet that bears the florets is called the rachilla.
