Explanation
In the family Gramineae, which is now commonly referred to as Poaceae, the reproductive structure is not a typical flower with petals, sepals, and ovary, but rather a specialized structure called a spikelet. In a grass spikelet, there are indeed two scales (bracts) called glumes located at the base, below the florets. The florets are the individual flowers within the spikelet. Each floret typically consists of palea and lemma, which are also specialized bracts associated with the reproductive structures.
