Miscanthus (Greek, miskos, a stem, and anthos, a flower). Gramineae. Eulalia. Tall perennial grasses with ample terminal feathery fan-shaped panicles, allied to the sugar-cane and Erianthus; often planted for bold lawn specimens and in borders.
Spikelets 1-fld., in pairs at the joints of the rachis, one nearly sessile, the other pedicellate, usually awned; clusters of silky hairs arising from the bases of the spikelets give the panicle its beautiful feathery appearance.—Comprises about 6 species in S. and E. Asia, several of which are cult.for ornament. Includes the eulalias of the trade but not Eulalia, Kunth, which is referred to Pollinia, by Hackel.
Although many progressive nurserymen now advertise these favorite grasses as Miscanthus, the name eulalia will probably remain in the English language as a thoroughly naturalized word, like geranium and chrysanthemum. Eulalias probably rank among the first half-dozen most popular grasses cultivated for ornament. They are remarkably hardy and are universal favorites for bedding. One of the commonest and best designs for a bed of ornamental grasses employs Arundo Donax as a tall centerpiece, surrounded by eulalias. Propagated by seed or division of roots.
