Alopecurus (Poaceae) 4b:284    
Tasmania has three introduced species of Alopecurus (Foxtails). The inflorescence is a soft, dense spike-like panicle. The spikelets have a single flower, the glumes are similar in size and are fused together at the base. The lemma has an awn attached near the base of the lemma.

A. pratensis (Meadow Foxtails) is a common agricultural weed.
