Phalaris (old Greek name for a grass). Gramineae. Stout hardy ornamental grasses.
 +
 +
Spikelets 1-fld., in heads or spike-like panicles; glumes'boat-shaped, awnless; 2 minute sterile lemmas at base of perfect floret.—Ten species, mostly of S. Eu., one native throughout the northern part of N. Amer., a variety of which is ribbon-grass. P. canariensis, Canary-grass, which is cult, in Eu. for bird-food or as a cereal, sometimes escapes along roadsides. This annual species, on account of its variegated ovate spikes, is worthy of cult, as an ornamental grass.
 +
 +
The name "P. commulata, or Toowoomba Canary-grass." has appeared in recent agricultural literature, as an intro. from Austral. The grass has been identified as P. bulbosa, Linn.

''P. arundinacea'' and ''P. aquatica'' are sometimes invasive species in wetlands.  ''P. arundinacea'' and ''P. aquatica'' are known to contain the psychedelic [[tryptamine]]s [[5-MeO-DMT]], [[Bufotenin|5-OH-DMT]], and [[dimethyltryptamine|N,N-DMT]].
