Cynosurus (Poaceae) 4b:206
Tasmania has two introduced species of Cynosurus (Dog's tails). The distinctive feature of these species is the nature of the spikelets - they occur in pairs, one of which has no flowers, but has the glumes and lemmas widely spreading in a fan, the other spikelet has flowers and is compact. The florets may or may not have awns.
