Staminate flower heads have stamens surrounded by whitish or purplish florets. Cauliflower rice is made by pulsing cauliflower florets followed by cooking the result in oil. In grasses awns typically extend from the lemmas of the florets. Intermediate incurve blooms may have broader florets and a less densely flowered head. Both showy sterile florets and less showy fertile florets appear in each cluster. Medicinally, many cultures use infusions from dried leaves or florets. The spoon-form disk florets are visible and the long, tubular ray florets are spatulate. The tubular florets are hermaphrodite while the ligular florets are sterile. Each stalk is capable of producing 10-15 disc florets. The part of the spikelet that bears the florets is called the rachilla. The central disc florets are yellow and tubular. It comprises a number of bristles radiating around the florets. It has long lyrate leaves and heads of purple florets. The disc florets of wild taxa are yellow. C but those that develop from outer florets germinate under deep shade.
