Dactylis (Poaceae) 4b:221  
Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) is a common pasture grass that has become quite widely naturalised on roadsides, waste ground etc). It is quite a coarse tufted grass, with bluish leaves often about 1cm wide and about 30cm long. The spikelets are in dense clusters, these in turn are arranged in a panicle. The spikelets have on a few flowers (2-7) and are quite hairy, given a soft appearance to the inflorescence.
