Common orchard / cocksfoot grass- Dactylis glomerata

The common orchard grass is a wintergreen eyrie plant. It has up to 10 mm wide, longitudinally folded leaves.

The flowers are arranged in small ears, which are densely packed. Very often there is a protruding lowermost panicle branch.

The fruits remain connected to the ciliated glume and a lemma. This makes velcro distribution possible in addition to distribution by wind and water.
