Narrative
Falfurrias was selected for its ability to produce abundant forage especially on droughty alkaline and saline sites. It is useful for revegetating alkaline and saline soils throughout south and west Texas. Firm tough culms rise from a hard, dense clump averaging 160 cm tall and 2-9 mm in diameter near the base. Sheaths are rounded, glabrous. Ligule is a ciliate membrane, 1-2 mm long. Leaves are flat, becoming involute on drying, 20-70 mm long, 3-6 mm wide. Inflorescence is tawny or pale, 20-60 cm long, 12-26 cm wide, broadly lanceolate in outline, the secondary branchlets densely flowered for most of their length.
