Calamagrostis (Greek, calamos, a reed, and agrostis, a grass). Syn. Deyeuxia. Gramineae. Usually tall or reed-like perennials bearing rootstocks. Including hay grasses and a few more or less ornamental species. Spikelets 1-fld., the rachilla prolonged behind the palea as a usually hairy pedicel; lemma hairy on the callus, awned from the back.—Species about 120, distributed throughout the world in temperate and arctic regions, usually in damp or swampy soil. The species are often valuable native forage grasses. One species, C. canadensis, Beauv., is a source of an excellent quality of native hay in the northwestern states, where it is called blue-joint. Another species, C. stricta, Beauv., native of the northern states, is sometimes cult. in a variegated form as an ornamental. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
