three-flowered

Updated: May 5, 2025

The spikelets may be one-, two- or three-flowered, according to the species. If we choose for further consideration the hexastichum type, each spikelet produces three normal flowers and afterwards three normal grains. Morphologically however, the spikelet is not homologous to those parts of other grasses which have the same name.
