Plants usually perennial, rarely annual; cespitose or rhizomatous, rarely both cespitose and rhizomatous. Culms (8)20-200 cm, glabrous or pubescent; nodes glabrous or retrorsely glabrous or puberulent; blade flat, pubescent. Inflorescences terminal panicles, contracted to open. Spikelets laterally compressed, with 2(3) florets, lower florets bisexual, upper floret(s) staminate or sterile; rachillas curved below the lowest florets, sometimes prolonged beyond the base of the distal florets; disarticulation below the glumes. Glumes equaling to exceeding the florets, strongly keeled, unawned; upper lemmas awned from below the apices, awns hooked or geniculate; paleas thin, subequal to the lemmas; lodicules 2, glabrous, toothed or not; anthers 3; ovaries glabrous. Caryopses shorter than the lemmas, concealed at maturity, glabrous. x = 4, 7.

Discussion
Holcus, a genus of eight species, is native to Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. One species, H. lanatus, has become widely naturalized in the Americas, Japan, and Hawaii; a second, H. mollis, has become a troublesome weed in some areas of the Flora region.
