Danthonia

About

Danthonia is a genus of Eurasian, North African, and American plants in the grass family. Members of this genus are sometimes referred to as oatgrass, but that common name is not restricted to this genus. Other common names include heathgrass and wallaby grass. Australian species have since been reclassified into the genus Rytidosperma.SpeciesDanthonia alpina Vest – central + southern Europe; Ukraine, Turkey, Caucasus Danthonia annableae P.M.Peterson & Rúgolo – Bolivia, Argentina Danthonia araucana Phil. – Chile Danthonia boliviensis Renvoize – Bolivia Danthonia × breviaristata (Beck) Vierh – France, Italy, Austria, Czech Rep, Romania Danthonia breviseta Hack. – Rio de Janeiro Danthonia californica Bol. – BC ALB SAS WA OR CA NV ID UT MT WY SD CO AZ NM; Chile Danthonia cernua Döll – Brazil Danthonia chaseana Conert – Minas Gerais Danthonia chiapasensis Davidse – Chiapas Danthonia chilensis É.Desv. – Argentina, Chile incl Juan Fernández Is Danthonia cirrata Hack. & Arechav. – Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay Danthonia compressa Austin – mountain oatgrass, flattened oatgrass, slender oatgrass – eastern North America from Georgia to Nova Scotia + Ontario Danthonia decumbens (L.)
