Melica picta

Melica picta is a species of grass in the family Poaceae that can be found in Europe, northwestern Africa and southwestern Asia.

Leaf-sheaths are closed, tubular and scabrous with eciliate membrane being 1–2.5 millimetres (0.039–0.098 in) long.

Both lower and upper glumes are elliptic, are 7 millimetres (0.28 in) long, and either gray or red in colour.

The lemmas apex is obtuse just like glumes,[1] with palea being 2-veined, lanceolated, and 5–5.5 millimetres (0.20–0.22 in) in length.

[1] Melica picta is rare in hardwood and fir forests and is also uncommon on clay and loamy soils.
