|discussion=<p><i>Dactylis</i> is interpreted here as a variable monotypic genus, although five species are recognized by Russian taxonomists. Numerous infraspecific taxa have been recognized in Eurasia, where <i>Dactylis</i> is native, but it does not seem feasible to identify subspecies and varieties in North America.</p>
