Lolium multiflorum (Italian rye-grass, [2] annual ryegrass) is a ryegrass native to temperate Europe, though its precise native range is unknown. [3] It is a herbaceous annual, biennial, or perennial grass that is grown for silage, and as a cover crop. [4] [5] It is also grown as an ornamental grass.
The primary species found worldwide and used both for lawns and as a forage crop is perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne).

Canada wild rye is a perennial bunchgrass reaching heights of 1 to 1.5 metres (3 ft 3 in to 4 ft 11 in). It grows from a small rhizome, forms a shallow, fine root network, and is a facultative mycotroph, receiving about 25% of its nutrients on average from symbiotic mycorrhizae. [5]
Leymus cinereus is a perennial bunchgrass forming large, tough clumps up to about 2 metres (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet) tall [4] and sometimes exceeding 1 m (3 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) in diameter. It has a large, fibrous root system and sometimes small rhizomes.
They usually grow as singular plants in clumps, tufts, hummocks, or bunches, rather than forming a sod or lawn, in meadows, grasslands, and prairies. As perennial plants, most species live more than one season. Tussock grasses are often found as forage in pastures and ornamental grasses in gardens. [1] [2] [3]
