They can be [[Annual plant|annual]] or [[perennial]]. They grow in tufts. They have flat [[Leaf|leaves]] and blunt ligules (a small flap at the junction of leaf and stem). Their inflorescence is a dense [[panicle]] (a branching head without terminal [[flower]]) with 1-flowered spikelets. A few, particularly ''A. myosuroides'', are considered [[weed]]s, others are very decorative and are used in bouquets of dried flowers.<br /> <br /> == Species ==<br /> *''Alopecurus aequalis'' - [[Orange Foxtail]], Short Foxtail<br /> **''Alopecurus aequalis aequalis'' - Short-awn Meadow-foxtail, Shortawn Foxtail <br /> **''Alopecurus aequalis sonomensis'' - Sonoma Shortawn Foxtail, Sonoma Alopecurus <br /> *''Alopecurus alpinus'' - Alpine Foxtail<br /> **''Alopecurus alpinus alpinus'' - Boreal Alopecurus <br /> *''Alopecurus anthoxantoides''<br /> *''Alopecurus arundinaceous'' - Reed Foxtail, Creeping Foxtail, Creeping Meadow Foxtail <br /> *''Alopecurus bonariensis''<br /> *''Alopecurus brachystachus'' <br /> *''Alopecurus bulbosus'' - Bulbous Foxtail<br /> *''Alopecurus carolinianus'' - Carolina Foxtail, Tufted Meadow Foxtail<br /> *''Alopecurus creticus'' - Cretan Meadow Foxtail<br /> *''Alopecurus geniculatus'' - Bent Foxtail, Marsh Meadow Foxtail<br /> **''Alopecurus geniculatus geniculatus'' - Water Foxtail <br /> **''Alopecurus geniculatus microstachys'' - Water Foxtail <br /> **''Alopecurus geniculatus patagonicus''<br /> [[Image:Illustration Alopecurus pratensis0.jpg|thumb|right|Meadow Foxtail (''Alepocurus pratensis'') from Thomé, ''Flora von Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz'' 1885]]<br /> *''Alopecurus heliochloides''<br /> *''Alopecurus japonicus'' - Japanese Foxtail<br /> *''Alopecurus lanatus''<br /> *''Alopecurus magellanicus''<br /> **''Alopecurus magellanicus bracteatus''<br /> **''Alopecurus magellanicus magellanicus''<br /> *''[[Alopecurus myosuroides]]'' - Slender Meadow Foxtail, Black Grass, Twitch Grass, Black Twitch<br /> *''[[Meadow Foxtail|Alopecurus pratensis]]'' - [[Meadow Foxtail]]<br /> *''Alopecurus rendlei'' - Rendle's Meadow Foxtail<br /> *''Alopecurus saccatus'' - Pacific Foxtail<br /> *''Alopecurus utriculatus''<br /> <br /> [[Category:Grasses]]</div>
