- The
ligule appears to be a
continuation of the leaf
sheath and
encircles or
clasps the stem as does the leaf sheath. The
three basic types of

- 5+0
scheme – all five
petals form the
ligule. A 4+1
scheme is

ligule is
often divided into teeth, each one...
- size of the
upper ligules on the
notopodia of the
posterior region of the body. The
upper ligules are much
larger than the
lower ligules. It is also without...

serrated transversely. The
ligule is
pointed and silvery.
Compared this to
Common Meadowgr**** Poa pratensis,
which has a
squared ligule, and Poa trivialis, which...

about four or five
broad white ray
florets (
ligules),
surrounding many
tubular yellow disc
florets without ligules that
develop into
barbed fruits. The fruits...
- (3⁄4 in) across,
borne in lax corymbs. The outer, ray
florets have
white ligules and the inner, disc
florets are

-
distinguished from
Lycopodiaceae (the clubmosses) by
having scale-leaves
bearing a
ligule and by
having spores of two types. They are
sometimes included in an informal...

shallowly grooved sheaths,
rounded at
their back, 0.2–1 mm long
ligules, flat or
enrolled blades of 1–5 cm long

float in the
water of
ponds and streams. The
leaves bear

-
shiny leaves like
Lolium perenne and
