11. Disarticulation occurs below, between, or above the glumes and at all nodes. 12. Infected florets ( especially the outer glumes ) become slightly darkened and oily in appearance. 13. Both glumes are present and well developed. 14. Female specimens have pale orange-brown glumes which are ovate and are in length. 15. Both spikelets and lower glumes are long. 16. The lower glume by itself is elliptic just like lemma, and have erosed apex. 17. The size is different though; Lower glume is while the upper one is long. 18. Both the upper and lower glumes are keelless, membranous, oblong and have obtuse apexes. 19. The glumes are found to be unequal, and are either longer or shorter than the lemma. 20. Both the upper and lower glumes are keelless, membranous, have asperulous surfaces and acute apexes.
