  • Fescue taxonomy in the Pacific coast states

    Creator:
    Wilson, Barbara L.
    Abstract:
    Accurate taxonomy is essential to preservation and management of native grasses. Four problems in fescue taxonomy were investigated: the identity of the native fescue that dominates western Oregon and Washington prairies, the relationship of native Festuca roemeri to closely related grasses, the status of F. howellii and F. washingtonica, and...
