An odd-veined bract of a spikelet occurring above the glumes; the abaxial bract of the floret that may be awned or awnless.
The lower bract of the floret that subtends the grass flower and palea.
The lower (outer) of two bracts enclosing a grass flower.
in a grass floret, the lower of two bracts enclosing a flower.
One of the two bracts enclosing the flower or spikelet of rice. It becomes the covering of two-thirds of the rice seed surface and has five vertical ridges, formed along the surface, from the vascular bundles.
n. (Gr. lemma, husk) the lower (abaxial), and larger, of two membranous bracts enclosing the flower in grass.
Outer scale subtending grass floret.
The lower of two bracts that protect the floret in grasses.

the lower and stouter of the two glumes immediately enclosing the floret in most Gramineae
The larger of the two bracts (the other being the palea) that enclose the stamens and pistil in a grass floret.
the outer bracts at the base of a grass spikelet; usually two glumes are present.
In grasses, the lower, generally larger of two sheathing bracts that occur directly below a flower.
The bract within a spikelet enclosing the germ side of a floret. A bract above the pair of glumes.
The outer, usually larger (away from the axis) bract of the pair of bracts that enclose a grass flower. The inner bract is called the palea.
the lowermost scale-like leaves at the base of a grass floret.
A fertile scale found in grasses.
The outer, lower bract enclosing the flower in a spikelet.
The lower bract enclosing the flower of grass. See drawing of parts of a grass plant.
Chaffy bract or scale away from the stem and enclosing the seed (Palea on the other side).
the lower of two bracts in a grass floret.
One of the two bracts (lemma and palea) subtending the individual flowers in grass spikelets; may be awned.
A lemma is a bract (a reduced, leaf-like structure associated with a flower) in a grass spikelet that is located below the stamens and pistil of the flower.
