Brachypodium (Poaceae) 4b:292    
Brachypodium distachyon is an uncommon weed that resembles Vulpia species. These include some widespread and abundant weeds. The inflorescences of Brachypodium are more-or-less open racemes. The leaves are flat and often hairy, the ligule is a membrane. The spikelets are flattened from side to side and have several flowers. Each lemma has a straight awn at the end. The glumes are larger (>5mm) than those of Vulpia and have multiple veins.
