![[FMP-field: image]](../picts/Poaceae/13-Floret.jpg)
| Each individual flower is subtended by 2 additional bracts, the lemma and the palea. Sometimes the lemma has a long awn at the tip. A flower plus the lemma and palea is called a floret. The lodicules are small sacs that inflate to spread apart the lemma and palea so that the anthers and stigmas are exposed to the wind for pollination to take place. |
