The following species in the grass genus Festuca, the fescues, are accepted by Plants of the World Online as of 2024. [1] This genus together with the ryegrass genus Lolium form the Festuca–Lolium complex known for its frequent hybridization, and which is further complicated by the presence of a fine-leaved fescue clade within Festuca that appears to be sister to a clade consisting of Lolium ...
Festuca filiformis, known by the common names fine-leaf sheep fescue, fine-leaved sheep's-fescue, hair fescue, and slender fescue, is a species of grass. It is native to Europe, and it is widespread elsewhere as an introduced species and often a weed.
Festuca (fescue) is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the grass family Poaceae (subfamily Pooideae). They are evergreen or herbaceous perennial tufted grasses with a height range of 10–200 cm (4–79 in) and a cosmopolitan distribution , occurring on every continent except Antarctica . [ 2 ]
Barton Creek is a tributary that feeds the Colorado River as it flows through the Texas Hill Country.

This species was originally included within the genus Festuca, owing to the similarity of the flowers and inflorescences.However, there has been much debate since 1898 about its relationship to the genus Lolium, largely because of hybridization with Lolium perenne (species in separate genera are far less likely to form hybrids than those within the same genus).
