| Tasmania has
one native and three introduced species of Festuca. These
have open panicles of spikelets, which have several florets. It is
quite a variable genus, often identified by elimination.
Festuca is distinguished from Austrofestuca by having the
lemmas rounded on the back and not keeled. Festuca rubra is
red fescue. F. arundinacea is tall fescue. |
