I'm running back to my home newsgroup Soc.History.Medieval where manners and
mutual respect are the norm.
I don't care about aponymous grasses, anyway!

I asked Phredo to answer the question, not you Iris.

I also meant actual species names not just the names of genera.

You don't get even partial credit for half answers or holding little
Phredo's hand.

Name ten grasses in different genera that are apomictic!!! BRBR

A quick search revealed the fact that many genera of the Poaceae contain
apomictic species. These include Pennisetum, Poa, Sorghum, buffelgrass,
and
others I don't remember. A great deal of research is going on right now
to
isolate the genes for apomixis in order to develop consistent strains of
superior food & forage plants. You might know that such an advanced and
widespread family as the Poaceae would have a backup system in case wind
pollination doesn't work.
