Its inflorescence is reminiscent of some Triticeae; it differs from members of that tribe in its manner of disarticulation and in having compound starch grains in its endosperm. One species has become established in North America.</p> |tables= |references={{Treatment/Reference |id=daniel1992a |text=Daniel, T.R, C. Best, J. Guggolz, and B. Guggolz. 1992.
