--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial; cespitose, sometimes with short rhizomes. <b>Culms</b> to 2.1+ m, bases laterally compressed; internodes hollow; nodes glabrous. <b>Leaves</b> mostly basal, glabrous; sheaths closed for at least 1/2 their length; auricles absent; ligules membranous; blades flat to folded. <b>Inflorescences</b> panicles; primary branches 1-sided, naked proximally, with dense clusters of subsessile spikelets distally, at least some branches longer than 1 cm. <b>Spikelets</b> oval to elliptic in outline, laterally compressed, with 2-6 florets; rachillas glabrous, not prolonged beyond the distal floret; disarticulation above the glumes and beneath the florets. <b>Glumes</b> shorter than the florets, lanceolate, 1-3-veined, ciliate-keeled, awn-tipped; calluses short, blunt; lemmas 5-veined, scabrous to ciliate-keeled, tapering to a short awn; paleas 2-keeled, tightly clasped by the lemmas, unawned, apices notched; lodicules 2, glabrous, toothed; anthers 3; ovaries glabrous. <b>Caryopses</b> shorter than the lemmas, concealed at maturity, oblong to ellipsoid, falling free or adhering to the lemma and/or palea; hila round, x = 7.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Dactylis 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 Dactylis is native, but it does not seem feasible to identify subspecies and varieties in North America.</p>
