"Spikelets large (15 - 20 mm long)"

Unclear if including awn or not ?

In Thomas' key that usually denotes the length without any awns.

Note that "Deckspelze" does not translate to "spikelet".

A partial list of translations German -> English:

Ährchen -> spikelet
Ährchenstiel -> pedicel
Ährchenachse -> rachilla
Blüte/Blütchen -> floret
Untere Hüllspelze -> lower glume
Obere Hüllspelze -> upper glume
Deckspelze -> lemma, lower inner bract
Vorspelze -> palea, upper inner bract
Spelzen -> glumes (= lower glume + upper glume + lemma + palea)
Schuppe -> scale
Nerven -> veins
Mittelnerv -> midrib
Kiel -> keel
Granne -> awn
begrannt -> with awn

Halm -> stem
(Blatt)scheide -> sheath
(Blatt)spreite, Blatt -> blade, leaf
("Blatt" really means the whole leaf but is often used as an abbreviation for the leaf blade.)
Ligula, Blatthäutchen -> ligule
Öhrchen -> auricles
geöhrt -> with auricles

Thanks for list.

Yeah I noticed that google translate (you can switch to english at top of home page.) fails here and there.

Blattgrund statt häutiger Ligula mit silberweißem Haarbüschel
ohne gelbe, keilförmige Zone

Blattgrund statt ? translation ?

[Anagallis]

"Grund" is the German word for "base". The part of an organ that is attached to the basal parts of the plant, so "Blattgrund" is the base of the leaf blade or the pedicle, depending on context.

[BubikolRamios1]

Blattgrund statt häutiger Ligula

lefa base (pedicle) instead of membranous ligula

but what does that mean according to image there, I see very short hair like ligula maybe ?

[Anagallis]

In this case, just ignore the "grund". It just means "ligula consists of hairs".
