	Tall Fescue Information System, Oregon State University
		Grasses in the closely related genera Festuca and Lolium are perhaps the most widely studied of all forage grasses.
		The genus Festuca contains over 400 species of varying ploidy levels, whereas the genus Lolium has traditionally been characterized as a much smaller genus with approximately eight species, all of which are diploid (Terrell, 1966).
		Festuca scariosa is adapted to a dry, arid climate and has evolved quite distinctive morphological characteristics such as reduced, highly lignified vascular strands.

		Festuca edlundiae has a very wide range including most of the ranges of the others, but its main concentrations are on exposed gravel ridges and raised gravel beaches and on soil polygons.
		Festuca edlundiae avoids the strongly acidic substrates and is almost equally frequent on circumneutral and basic substrates, with a range from the Tertiary sandstones to pure limestone, dolomites, and marble.
		Festuca edlundiae is, as far as known, confined to the easternmost parts (Chukotka), whereas F.

	Sunshine Farm and Gardens: Glick Pick Archives: Festuca subverticillata
		While not a very lyrical name, the gracefulness of this native woodland grass more than compensates for the clumsy feel as the specific epithet "subverticillata" stumbles to roll off the tongue.
