Comments.

× Eriosella caduca is thought to be a hybrid between Eriocoma hymenoides and Nassella viridula . It can be separated from E. hymenoides in having shorter hairs on the lemma and panicles with ascending branches (not divergent), and from N. viridula in having longer lemma hairs, paleas 2/3-3/4 as long as the lemma, and readily deciduous lemmatal awns ( Barkworth 2007). Another species similar to × Eriosella caduca is Eriocoma bloomeri . However, the latter species has glabrous sheaths, shorter ligules, 5-veined lemmas, awns with a sub-plumose lower section below the bend, and anthers with more numerous apical hairs ( Johnson and Rogler 1943).
