As in Timothy, each pair of glumes encloses Fig. 106. hut one flower (Fig. 104), and we must observe that the term spihelet^ so far as Grasses are concerned, is applied to the pair of glumes and whatever is contained in them, whether one flower, or many, as is often the case. In Red-top and Timothy, the spikelets are 1-floioered. Ob- serve the very thin texture of the jmlets, and also that one of them (the lower, , the one farthest from the stalk) is nearly twice as large as the other, and is marked with three Fig. 105 Fig. 105.—Common Meadow-Grass.
