Narrative
Gail Fritz gave brown seeded Phalaris to Robert Myers who grew it in his garden. He selected for white seeds which he donated to NPGS. Seed is light colored, not white. Growth: .3-.4 m high, grain heads 2-3 cm long. Seed set was high but shattering is a potential problem. Maygrass seed was used as grain by the native Missouri Indians before corn and sunflowers became important.
