About Sesleria albicans Kit. ex Schult.
Sesleria albicans Kit. ex Schult. is a perennial, caespitose species. It produces erect, slender culms that measure 10–45 centimetres (3.9–17.7 in) in length. Its ligule forms a ciliolate membrane, ranging from 0.2–0.4 millimetres (0.0079–0.0157 in) long. The leaf blades are flat, 10–25 centimetres (3.9–9.8 in) long, and 1.5–3 millimetres (0.059–0.118 in) wide. The inflorescence is a capitated panicle that is oblong or ovate, measuring 1–3 centimetres (0.39–1.18 in) long by 0.5–0.7 centimetres (0.20–0.28 in) wide. Spikelets are solitary and oblong, 4–7 millimetres (0.16–0.28 in) long, with fertile spikelets born on pedicels. Sterile spikelets grow in pairs, and the spikelets carry 2–3 fertile florets. Both the upper and lower glumes are 4–7 millimetres (0.16–0.28 in) long; they are ovate, membranous, and glaucous, with a single keel and a single vein, and acuminated, muticous apexes. The fertile lemma is ovate, membranous, and 4–6 millimetres (0.16–0.24 in) long. Its flowers have three stamens, two stigmas, and are hairy. The fruits are caryopses with an additional pericarp, a hairy apex, and an elliptic hilum.
