It is widely used for hay and as a forage grass.It grows to 20–120 centimetres tall, with leaves 20-50 cm long and up to 1.5 cm broad, and a distinctive tufted triangular flowerhead 10-15 cm long.It is usually treated as the sole species in the genus Dactylis, but is commonly divided into several regional subspecies; some botanists treat some of these as distinct species, or at the lower rank of variety.
