Aira is a genus of Old World plants in the grass family, native to western and southern Europe, central and southwest Asia, plus Africa.
Cynodon is a genus of plants in the grass family. It is native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the Old World, as well as being cultivated and naturalized in the New World and on many oceanic islands.
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)
Molinia, or moor grass, is a genus of two species of flowering plants in the grass family, native to damp moorland in Eurasia and northern Africa. They are both herbaceous perennial grasses.
Deschampsia is a genus of plants in the grass family, commonly known as hair grass or tussock grass. The genus is widespread across many countries.
Colpodium is a genus of plants in the grass family, native primarily to Asia but with a few species on certain mountains in Africa.
Glyceria is a widespread genus of grass family common across Eurasia, Australia, North Africa, and the Americas.
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.
Peyritschia is a genus of Latin American plants in the grass family.
Arctophila is a genus of Arctic and Subarctic plants in the grass family. The only known species is Arctophila fulva, commonly known as pendant grass, native to northern parts of Eurasia and North America.
Scolochloa is a genus of grasses in the family Poaceae / Gramineae, now containing a single species, Scolochloa festucacea. Common rivergrass is a common name for the species. Scolochloa festucacea grows in Europe, temperate Asia, and North America. Its culms are erect and 100–150 centimetres (39–59 in) in height; its leaf blades are 15–30 cm (5.9–11.8 in) long and 5–10 mm (0.20–0.39 in) wide.
Dupontia is a genus of Arctic and Subarctic plants in the grass family.
The Zacatonal is a montane grassland and shrubland ecoregion of central Mexico.
× Arctodupontia is a nothogenus of Arctic and Subarctic plants in the grass family. The only known nothospecies is × Arctodupontia scleroclada, found in the colder regions of Eurasia and North America. It is believed to have originated as a hybrid of two other arctic grasses: Arctophila fulva × Dupontia fisheri.
The Poeae are the largest tribe of the grasses, with around 2,500 species in 121 genera. The tribe includes many lawn and pasture grasses.
