Glumes usually glabrous, smooth or scabrous over 1 or more veins; lemmas usually glabrous, sometimes with hairs on the margins.

Discussion

There is no known difference in geographic distribution between subsp. intermedium and subsp. barbulatum in the Flora region. Ogle (2001) states that T. intermedium subsp. intermedium is adapted to areas with 12-13 inches of rainfall per year.

Selected References

None.

Lower Taxa

None.

"decumbent" is not a number."-3timesthelengthof" is not declared as a valid unit of measurement for this property.
