| In grasses, the pair of spikelets is a shBr that produces a single lateral meristem and then terminates in a spikelet. |
| In Moldova, Yanushevich seems to have taken the shape and size of broomcorn millet spikelet imprints with glumes and lemmas as the main criteria for identification. |
| At the base of each spikelet, there is a pair of sterile glumes that surrounds a series of flowers. |
| The awns of Squirrel-tail Grass show a backward curving which, wedgelike, raises each spikelet from those below and soon separates the ripened spike, joint from joint. |
| Notably lacking are spikelet fragments, chaff, awns, pods, and weed seeds that comprise the debris from processing such crops for storage or from using dung as fuel. |
| In grasses it is a matter of convenience and tradition to identify as a spikelet the combination of one or more florets with two proximally situated bracts, the glumes. |
