--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial; cespitose or not, sometimes rhizomatous. <b>Culms</b> 10-250 cm, usually erect. <b>Sheaths</b> open, glabrous or ciliate; auricles 0.2-1.8 mm or absent; ligules membranous; blades convolute or flat. <b>Inflorescences</b> terminal, distichous spikes, usually not disarticulating at maturity, with 1 spikelet at all or most nodes; internodes 5-30 mm. <b>Spikelets</b> 1-3 times the length of the middle internodes, solitary, appressed to ascending, often diamond-shaped in outline and arching outwards at maturity; disarticulation tardy, usually beneath the florets, sometimes in the rachises. <b>Glumes</b> rectangular to lanceolate, narrowing beyond midlength, stiff, indurate to coriaceous, glabrous or with hairs, keeled or rounded at the base, usually more strongly keeled distally than proximally, 4-9-veined, midveins usually scabrous distally, margins often hyaline, apices truncate to acute, sometimes mucronate, unawned, without lateral teeth; lemmas 5-veined, coriaceous, glabrous or with hairs, truncate, obtuse, or acute, sometimes mucronate or awned, awns to 3 cm; anthers 3, 2.5-12 mm. <b>x</b> = 7.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Thinopyrum includes approximately ten species, most of which are alkaline tolerant. It is native from the Mediterranean region to western Asia. Four species are established in the Flora region; only T. intermedium and T. ponticum are common. The genus is sometimes included in Elytrigia Desv. or Elymus.</p><!--
--><p>Thinopyrum differs from the other Triticeae in its thick, stiff glumes and lemmas. These are several cells thick, even between the veins (Jarvie and Barkworth 1992b).</p>
