Uncommon in woods or shady places, preferring alkaline conditions. Spikelets c 10-20 mm long excluding awns ID: Spikelets alternating up the axis and broadside-on to it, with conspicuous awns usually 10-20 mm long. (If awns between 7-10 mm long, could be either this or Common Couch, but most unlikely to find either of them with awns in that range). Other features: Leaves broad, ribbed, with or without hairs on surface. Ligule short, cut off straight, 1.5 mm long or less. |
