Fescue - Fescue

Japanese: オオウシノケグサ - おおうしのけぐさ
Fescue - Fescue

A small perennial grass of the Poaceae family (APG classification: Poaceae). It resembles fescue, but the runners grow sideways through the old leaf sheaths. It can be distinguished by the fact that the base of the plant may be slightly pinkish. It grows on rocky areas in the high mountains of Hokkaido and north of the Chubu region of Honshu, and is widely distributed in the subarctic zone of the Northern Hemisphere.

イネ科(APG分類:イネ科)の小形の多年草。ウシノケグサに似るが、走出枝は古い葉鞘(ようしょう)を突き抜けて横に出る。株の基部はやや淡紅色を帯びることがあるので区別される。本州中部地方以北、北海道の高山の岩場に生え、北半球の亜寒帯に広く分布する。
