Abstract
Annuals or perennials, caespitose, rhizomatous or stoloniferous. Culms hollow. Ligule membranous, sometimes with a ciliolate margin but not long ciliate. Leaf blades lacking pseudopetioles. Leaf sheaths lacking auricles. Inflorescence unbranched, or of primary branches only, or the branches branched. Spikelets with 1 to many flowers, reduced flowers, if present, distal to the fertile ones. Rachilla generally breaking up between the flowers, i.e., disarticulation above the persistent glumes. Lemma awned or not. Palea with 2 veins, often keeled. Lodicules 2, membranous, not vascularized. Stamens 3. Stigmas 2, borne on style branches that are inserted separately into the ovary apex. Fruit with a linear hilum. Embryo small, with an epiblast, lacking an internode between the coleoptilar and scutellar vein, the embryonic leaf margins overlapping. C3. Fusoid cells and arm cells absent. Leaf epidermal papillae absent.
