--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>annual or perennial; rhizomatous, stoloniferous, or cespitose. <b>Culms</b> 5-150 cm, not woody, branched above the base; internodes hollow. <b>Leaves</b> cauline; auricles sometimes present; ligules membranous, sometimes ciliate; blades flat or rolled, with or without cross venation. <b>Inflorescences</b> terminal, usually contracted, dense panicles, distal 1/2 of the rachises concealed by the spikelets; branches fused to the rachises or free and appressed to ascending; pedicels with discoid apices; disarticulation below the glumes and below the upper florets. <b>Spikelets</b> bisexual, with 2 florets, rounded to acute; rachilla segments not swollen. <b>Glumes</b> unequal, prominently veined, unawned; lower glumes 3-7-veined; upper glumes as long as or exceeding the upper florets, distinctly saccate or gibbous, 5-13-veined; lower florets 0.8-1.9 mm, sterile or staminate, less than 1/2 as long as the spikelets; lower lemmas resembling the upper glumes but not saccate, sometimes with a transverse row of hairs, 5-9-veined, unawned; lower paleas present or absent, 0-2-veined; upper lemmas subcoriaceous to subindurate, dorsally compressed, glabrous, smooth, margins inrolled or flat, never hyaline, faintly 3-5-veined; upper paleas similar to the lemmas, 2-veined; lodicules 2, fleshy, glabrous, x = 9.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Sacciolepis</i> is a genus of 30 species. It is represented throughout the tropics and subtropics, primarily in Africa. Two species grow in the Flora region. One is native; the other is an introduction that has become established. Most species grow along and in ponds, lakes, streams, ditches, and other moist areas. The prominently multi-veined, saccate upper glumes and contracted panicles distinguish <i>Sacciolepis</i> from all other grasses in the Flora region.</p>
