They are long and strap like, measuring up to Шаблон:Cvt long by Шаблон:Cvt wide, and the margins (edges) may have small spines or teeth.Шаблон:R The leaf bases are expanded laterally to form ligules, that is, thin membranous extensions of the leaf blade which overlap with neighbouring ligules, creating traps for water and biotic debris.Шаблон:R

Taxonomy
