Species: Muhlenbergia minutissima
Encyclopedia of Puget Sound
Minute muhly is a tufted annual grass with stems up to 3 dm (1 ft) tall. The inrolled leaf blades are 1-2 mm wide, and the membranous ridge onthe blade where it meets the stem (ligule) is 1-3 mm high with jagged margins. Plants are sparsely hairy below stem nodes and on upper leaf surfaces. The single-flowered spikelets, ca. 1 mm long, are borne on the ends of long ascending stalks in an open, terminal inflorescence that is often half the plant's total height. The glumes are sparsely hairy along the margins and sometimes on the back, and both the glumes and lemmas lack awns.
