Festuca arundinacea of Michigan Flora.
Roadsides, river banks, and lawns; an introduction from Europe, first collected in Ingham Co. in 1894, but only recently becoming common.
The lemmas often have a very short awn, rarely to 3.5 mm, formed by the excurrent midvein, whereas in L. pratense the lemmas are usually awnless.
