two-edged spikelets, each with the three to six lower 
glumes empty. There are 5 species, all North American, 
one (U. paniculata) extending into Central and South 
America. U. racemijlora of the West Indies differs in its 
minute spikelets. The others are tall erect grasses grow- 
ing in tufts from strong creeping rootstocks. The leaves 
are broad and flat, or convolute ; the panicle loose or 
dense, or, in U. gracUis, contracted and wand-like, and in 
U. racemijlora forming one-sided spikes. In U. panicu- 
lata, a tall species reaching 8 feet, and U. latifolia, a short- 
er plant with drooping long-pedicelled flowers, the spike- 
lets reach an unusually large size, sometimes 2 inches long 
and with 30 flowers. U. latifolia, and U. gracilis are pas- 
ture-grasses ; U. paniculata is valuable from its binding 
sea-sands. See spike-grass.
