	~~Describe~~ the plant ~~here~~...		'''''Festuca idahoensis''''' is a species of [[Poaceae\|grass]] known by the common names '''Idaho fescue''' and '''blue bunchgrass'''. It is native to western North America, where it is widespread and common. It can be found in many ecosystems, from shady forests to open plains grasslands.

			This [[fescue]] is a densely-clumping long-lived perennial grass with stems from about 30 to 80 centimeters in height.<ref>''Jepson Manual''. 1993</ref> The stiff, short, rolling leaves are mostly located near the base of the tuft. The [[inflorescence]] has hairy spikelets which produce large [[Awn (botany)\|awned]] fruits. The root system is thick and penetrates deeply into the soil. The roots have symbiotic [[mycorrhiza]]e. There are no [[rhizome]]s; the plant reproduces from seeds and from budding with [[Tiller (botany)\|tillers]].

			This is a nutritious and preferred forage grass for wild and domestic animals. Typical native grass associates in the far west [[coastal prairie]]s are ''[[Danthonia californica]], [[Deschampsia caespitosa]] and ''[[Nassella pulchra]]''.<ref>C. Michael Hogan. 2009</ref>

			Cultivars, such as "Siskiyou Blue," are produced in the [[horticulture]] industry for [[landscape design]] and [[garden]] use. <ref>http://nativeson.com/annotated_catalog/grasscatalog.htm - access date: 6/9/2010</ref>
