Pedicels are subtended by a linear bract and are straight or recurved outwards at fruitification. Each flower is subtended by a large bract. Each flower is subtended by four or five lance-shaped bracts. A fertile, unstalked spikelet is subtended by a sterile, stalked spikelet. It is subtended by one or two unequal leaflet-like bracts. Each floret may be subtended by a bract, called a "palea" or "receptacular bract". The cincinni are subtended by a spathe, a modified leaf. This is regarded as the subtended angular velocity detection threshold (SAVT) limit of visual acuity. The golden angle is then the angle subtended by the smaller arc of length "b". Each is subtended by up to three stiff bristles. They are subtended by a swelling that contains a cavity that contains nectar. The individual flowers are subtended by bracteoles that fall off early in development. It is subtended by four line-shaped scales of long.
