| 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. |
