Peronosclerospora sorghi "Peronosclerospora sorghi" is a plant pathogen. It is the causal agent of sorghum downy mildew. The pathogen is a fungal-like protist in the oomycota, or water mold, class. "Peronosclerospora sorghi" infects susceptible plants though sexual oospores, which survive in the soil, and asexual sporangia which are disseminated by wind. Symptoms of sorghum downy mildew include chlorosis, shredding of leaves, and death. "Peronosclerospora sorghi" infects maize and sorghum around the world, but causes the most severe yield reductions in Africa. The disease is controlled mainly through genetic resistance, chemical control, crop rotation, and strategic timing of planting.

Calochilus Calochilus, commonly known as beard orchids, is a genus of about 30 species of plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. Beard orchids are terrestrial, herbs with a single leaf at the base of the plant, or no leaves. Their most striking feature is a densely hairy labellum, giving rise to their common name. Beard orchids, unlike some other Australian orchids, do not reproduce using daughter tubers, but self-pollinate when cross-pollination has not occurred. Most species occur in Australia but some are found in New Zealand, New Guinea and New Caledonia.

Calcareous grassland Calcareous grassland (or alkaline grassland) is an ecosystem associated with thin basic soil, such as that on chalk and limestone downland. Plants on calcareous grassland are typically short and hardy, and include grasses and herbs such as clover. Calcareous grassland is an important habitat for insects, particularly butterflies, and is kept at a plagioclimax by grazing animals, usually sheep and sometimes cattle. Rabbits used to play a part but due to the onset of myxomatosis their numbers decreased so dramatically that they no longer have much of a grazing effect.

Job's tears Job's tears (US) or Job's-tears (UK), scientific name Coix lacryma-jobi, also known as adlay or adlay millet, is a tall grain-bearing perennial tropical plant of the family Poaceae (grass family). It is native to Southeast Asia but elsewhere is cultivated in gardens as an annual. It has been naturalized in the southern United States and the New World tropics. In its native environment it is grown in higher areas where rice and corn do not grow well. Other common names include coixseed and tear grass. Job's tears are also commonly sold as Chinese pearl barley in Asian supermarkets, although "C. lacryma-jobi" is not closely related to barley ("Hordeum vulgare").

Stylidium subg. Centridium Stylidium" subg. "Centridium is a subgenus of "Stylidium" that is characterized by a globose hypanthium, a stipitate brush-like stigma, and gynostemium mobility not produced by a sensitive hinged torosus but by the movement of a cunabulum. All species with the possible and doubtful exception of "S. weeliwolli" are annuals. This subgenus appears to be most closely related to the genus "Levenhookia", which suggests an ancestral relationship. "Centridium" was first published by John Lindley in the 1839 publication, "A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony". Lindley created this subgenus to distinguish species which did not fit into either of the two other subgenera that had existed at the time. He initially placed "Stylidium calcaratum", the newly described "Stylidium androsaceum", and "Stylidium stipitatum" into subgenus "Centridium". His description of "S. androsaceum" turned out to be synonymous with "S. calcaratum" and "S. stipitatum" is a synonym of "Levenhookia stipitata".

Stylidium graminifolium Stylidium graminifolium, the grass triggerplant, is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus "Stylidium" (family Stylidiaceae). This species used to belong to the "Stylidium graminifolium" complex, but the name was conserved for this single species when two others were split from the complex and introduced as new species in 2001. "S. graminifolium" is endemic to Australia and is one of the "Stylidium" species with the widest distribution throughout Australia. It is a perennial plant with grass-like leaves and is easily cultivated. It has been considered to be a carnivorous or protocarnivorous plant because it possesses glandular trichomes underneath the flowers that can trap and digest prey.

Echinochloa crus-galli Echinochloa crus-galli is a type of wild grass originating from tropical Asia that was formerly classified as a type of panicum grass. It is commonly known as cockspur (or cockspur grass), barnyard millet, Japanese millet, water grass, common barnyard grass, or simply "barnyard grass" (which may refer to any species of "Echinochloa" or the genus as a whole however). This plant can grow to 60" (1.5 m) in height and has long, flat leaves which are often purplish at the base. Most stems are upright, but some will spread out over the ground. Stems are flattened at the base. The seed heads are a distinctive feature, often purplish, with large millet-like seeds in crowded spikelets.

Proso millet Panicum miliaceum, with many common names including proso millet, broomcorn millet, common millet, broomtail millet, hog millet, Kashfi millet red millet, and white millet, is a grass species used as a crop. Both the wild ancestor and location of the original domestication of proso millet are unknown, but it first appears as a crop in both Transcaucasia and China about 7,000 years ago, suggesting it may have been domesticated independently in each area. It is still extensively cultivated in India, Nepal, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Middle East, Turkey and Romania. In the United States, proso is mainly grown for birdseed. It is sold as health food, and due to its lack of gluten, it can be included in the diets of people who cannot tolerate wheat.

Pooideae The Pooideae are the largest subfamily of the grass family Poaceae, with over 4,200 species in 14 tribes and roughly 200 genera. They include some major cereals such as wheat, barley, oat, rye and many lawn and pasture grasses. They are often referred to as cool-season grasses, because they are distributed in temperate climates. All of them use the C photosynthetic pathway.

PACMAD clade The PACMAD clade (previously PACCMAD, PACCAD, or PACC) is one of two major lineages (or clades) of the true grasses (Poaceae), regrouping six subfamilies and about 5700 species, more than half of all true grasses. Its sister group is the BOP clade. The PACMAD lineage is the only group within the grasses within which the C photosynthesis pathway has evolved; studies have shown that this happened independently multiple times.

Coronopus Coronopus is a synonym for the accepted genus name "Lepidium". It was applied to some species of flowering plants in the cabbage and mustard family Brassicaceae known commonly as swinecress or wartcress. These are generally low spreading annual herbaceous plants with many long stems, deeply lobed leaves and small white flowers. They have a strong scent, smelling like garden cress, "Lepidium sativum", when crushed. "Lepidium squamatus" may be native to the Mediterranean but "Lepidium didymum" may be native to South America. Both species are widespread weedy introduced species in other areas.

Dichanthelium oligosanthes Dichanthelium oligosanthes (common names: Heller's rosette grass, fewanther obscuregrass, few-flowered panicgrass) is a frost tolerant perennial wild grass species found primarily in the contiguous United States with specimens also reported in British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, as well as south of the Rio Grande in northern Mexico. It is found most frequently in partially shaded glens within woods, recently cut forests, and grassy banks. The species is primarily cleistogamous, with individual florets often self pollinate without opening. Despite being a member of the grass subfamily Panicoideae which includes many species which utilize C4 photosynthesis, "D. oligosanthes" retains the more ancestral trait, using a C3 photosynthetic pathway.

Leymus multicaulis Leymus multicaulis, also known as manystem wild rye or manystem lyme grass, is a species of the "Leymus" genus. The species name of manystem wild rye, "multicaulis", suggests the “many stems” of the species. "Leymus multicaulis" is considered a type of grass. Manystem wild rye has only one cotyledon in each of its seeds. The xylem and phloem within the roots are arranged in a ring pattern. The vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem. These traits make "Leymus multicaulis" a monocot. "Leymus multicaulis" is a flowering plant, or angiosperm.
