Festuca longipes is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is native to South Africa. It is perennial and mainly grows in subtropical biomes. Festuca longipes was first published in 1900 by Otto Stapf. [1]
Eragrostis is a large and widespread genus of plants in the grass family, found in many countries on all inhabited continents and many islands.
Festuca (fescue) is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the grass family Poaceae. They are evergreen or herbaceous perennial tufted grasses with a height range of 10–200 cm (4–79 in) and a cosmopolitan distribution, occurring on every continent except Antarctica. The genus is closely related to ryegrass (Lolium), and recent evidence from phylogenetic studies using DNA sequencing of plant mitochondrial DNA shows that the genus lacks monophyly. As a result, plant taxonomists have moved several species, including the forage grasses tall fescue and meadow fescue, from the genus Festuca into the genus Lolium, or alternatively into the segregate genus Schedonorus.
There are over 190 vascular plant species on the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. This figure does not include algae, mosses, and lichens, which are non-vascular plants. For an island so far north, this number of species constitutes an astonishing variety of plant life. Because of the harsh climate and the short growing season, all the plants are slow growing. They seldom grow higher than 10 cm (4 in)
Festuca ovina, sheep's fescue or sheep fescue, is a species of grass. It is sometimes confused with hard fescue.
Otto Stapf FRS was an Austrian born botanist and taxonomist, the son of Joseph Stapf, who worked in the Hallstatt salt-mines. He grew up in Hallstatt and later published about the archaeological plant remains from the Late Bronze- and Iron Age mines that had been uncovered by his father.
Festuca rubra is a species of grass known by the common name red fescue, creeping red fescue or the rush-leaf fescue. It is widespread across much of the Northern Hemisphere and can tolerate many habitats and climates. It is best adapted to well-drained soils in cool, temperate climates; it prefers shadier areas and is often planted for its shade tolerance. Wild animals browse it, but it has not been important for domestic forage due to low productivity and palatability. It is also an ornamental plant for gardens.
Colpodium is a genus of plants in the grass family, native primarily to Asia but with a few species on certain mountains in Africa.
Uniola is a genus of New World plants in the grass family.
Urophyllum is a genus of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae, native to from south China to Tropical Asia. The genus was established by Nathaniel Wallich in 1824.
Tussock grasses or bunch grasses are a group of grass species in the family Poaceae. They usually grow as singular plants in clumps, tufts, hummocks, or bunches, rather than forming a sod or lawn, in meadows, grasslands, and prairies. As perennial plants, most species live more than one season. Tussock grasses are often found as forage in pastures and ornamental grasses in gardens.
Pentameris is a genus of plants in the grass family, native primarily to Africa, with a few species in Yemen and on certain islands in the Indian Ocean.
Cyrtococcum is a genus of Asian, African, and Pacific Island plants in the grass family.
Acranthera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It is found from India to South Central China south to Borneo and the Philippines.
Urobotrya is a genus of plants in the family Opiliaceae described as a genus in 1905.
Fordiophyton are a genus of flowering plants in the family Melastomataceae, native to Vietnam and southern China.
Festuca cumminsii is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. This species is native to China North-Central, China South-Central, East Himalaya, Inner Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Mongolia, Nepal, Qinghai, Tadzhikistan, Tibet, West Himalaya, and Xinjiang. Festuca cumminsii prefers temperate biomes and is perennial. This species was first described in 1896.
Festuca lucida is a species of grass in the family Poaceae. It is native in West Himalaya. It is a perennial and mainly grows in temperate biomes. This species was first described in 1896.
