Involucels

The pistil was unaffected in some cases, while in some others it was entirely wanting, the gynophore being surmounted by a cup-like involucre, divided into three acutely pointed lobes, each with a midrib; these encircled a series of stalked involucels, as before, and among which were scattered ❋ Maxwell T. Masters (N/A)

The _inflorescence_ is a solitary cylindric raceme of involucels, 2 to 4 inches long, enclosed in the uppermost leaf-sheath; the _rachis_ is flexuous, angular and smooth. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

The involucels are shortly stalked, with a few unequal bristles which are free down to the base and two to three times as long as the spikelet. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

The _inflorescence_ is a narrowly pyramidal spike-like panicle, 4 to 6 inches long, the main rachis is glabrous and grooved, branches are short, crowded above, scattered and distant below, with close and densely set spikelets; the bristles of involucels are 1/4 inch long, slender, flexuous with erect barbs varying in number from three to six. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

The inflorescence is a spike-like raceme consisting of involucellate clusters of shortly pedicellate spikelets, involucels consist of unequal, simple or branched bristles. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

The flowers are usually arranged in simple or compound umbels, and the main and subordinate clusters may or may not be provided with involucres and involucels. ❋ Various (N/A)

Large umbel of yellow flowers, no involucre and no involucels. ❋ Jerome Beers Thomas (1891)

_Flowers_ -- Dull or greenish yellow, small, without involucre or involucels; borne in 7 to 15 rayed umbels, 2 to 6 in. across. ❋ Neltje Blanchan (1891)

A portion of a spike; 2 and 3. spikelets with their involucels; 4. a bristle; 5, 6, 7 and 8. the first, second, third and the fourth glume, respectively; 7a and 8a. palea of the third and the fourth glume, respectively; 9. ovary and stamens.] _Spikelets_ are about 1/5 inch long oblong-lanceolate, one to three in a spike and sessile. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)
