--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial; cespitose, not rhizomatous. <b>Culms</b> 25-65 cm, erect or spreading, basal branching extravaginal; prophylls not visible; nodes glabrous. <b>Leaves</b> mostly basal; cleistogenes not developed; sheaths open, glabrous; auricles absent; ligules membranous, longest at the sides or rounded, ciliate; blades of basal leaves 30-90 cm, remaining green over winter, erect when young, recumbent in the fall, bases twisted, placing the abaxial surfaces uppermost, cauline leaf blades reduced, flag leaf blades 2-12 mm, conspicuously narrower than the top of the sheath. <b>Inflorescences</b> panicles, contracted. <b>Spikelets</b> 5-7.5 mm, with 1 floret; rachillas not prolonged beyond the base of the floret; disarticulation above the glumes, beneath the floret. <b>Glumes</b> subequal, 6-10-veined, apices mucronate; florets terete to laterally compressed; calluses usually less than 1/5 the length of the florets, blunt, distal portions pilose; lemmas coriaceous, pubescent at least basally, 3-5(9)-veined, margins strongly overlapping at maturity, awned, lemma-awn junction conspicuous, lobed, lobes 0.1-0.2 mm; awns more or less straight, deciduous; paleas similar to the lemmas in length, texture, and pubescence, concealed by the lemmas, 2-veined, flat between the veins; lodicules 2, free, membranous, 2-veined; anthers 3; styles 1, with 2 branches; ovaries glabrous. <b>Caryopses</b> falling with the lemma and palea. <b>x</b> = 11, 12.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Oryzopsis</i> is treated here as a monospecific genus that is restricted to North America. Hitchcock (1951) and Johnson (1945) treated it as including both Eurasian and North American taxa; Freitag (1975) and Tutin (1980) placed the Eurasian species in a separate genus, <i>Piptatherum</i>. Kam and Maze (1974) demonstrated that <i>O. asperifolia</i> differs from both North American and Eurasian species previously included in <i>Oryzopsis</i> in the development of its floret and callus, and in having 2-veined lodicules. Phylogenetic studies based on ITS sequence data have not yielded clear support for any particular treatment of <i>Oryzopsis</i>; they are consistent with the treatment presented here. The North American species previously included in <i>Oryzopsis</i> have been transferred to <i>Achnatherum</i> and <i>Piptatherum</i>.</p>
