84-399: A height range of 10–200 cm (4–79 in) and a cosmopolitan distribution , occurring on every continent except Antarctica . The genus is closely related to ryegrass ( Lolium ), and recent evidence from phylogenetic studies using DNA sequencing of plant mitochondrial DNA shows that the genus lacks monophyly . As a result, plant taxonomists have moved several species, including

112-574: A major evolutionary line of the tribe Poeae . The ancient group has produced various segregates that possess more advanced characteristics than Festuca , including racemose inflorescences and more annual habits. The word " festuca " is a Latin word meaning "stem" or "stalk" first used by Pliny the Elder to describe a weed. The word Festuca first appears to describe grasses in Dodoens ' "Stirpium historiae pemptades sex, sive libri XXX" in 1583. However,

336-565: The caryopses. Some fescues are used as ornamental and turf grasses and as pasture and hay for livestock, being a highly nutritious stock feed. Festuca rubra and F. rubra subsp. commutata are used as lawn grasses, and these species, F. arundinacea , and F. trachyphylla are used in parks, deforested areas, and sports fields for land stabilization. F. saximontana and F. idahoensis are used as rangeland grasses for livestock, and fescues often provide good forage for native wildlife. F. ovina and its various subspecies are

Of birds are present: stork , crow , partridge , hawk , egret , swan and others. Forests occupy 8.2% of the district and are characterized by the presence of: oak , common oak , ash , maple , acacia others. Plants, mainly steppe : fescue , mugwort , bells and more. The largest river

420-506: The district working professional with 837 students. The district operates 31 preschools with a number of 1,811 children. The district is located in the so-called electoral region " North Red " (the region where the PCRM usually get over 50% of the vote ). But the last three elections the Communists are in a constant fall. The elections of 2010 the PCRM won only 0.38% from AEI . District

448-623: The florets. The lower glumes are as long or shorter than their adjacent lemmas and have one (rarely two or three) veins, and the upper glumes have three (rarely four or five) veins. The calli are typically glabrous and smooth, but can be occasionally scabrous or rarely pubescent. The chartaceous or sometimes coriaceous lemmas have somewhat dorsally rounded and distally keeled bases. The lemmas typically have five (rarely six or seven) veins. The lemmas have acute to attenuate apices that are occasionally doubly pointed, and terminal awns or mucros . The bidentate paleas are shorter to longer than

476-423: The forage grasses tall fescue and meadow fescue, from the genus Festuca into the genus Lolium , or alternatively into the segregate genus Schedonorus . Because the taxonomy is complex, scientists have not determined how many true species belong to the genus, but estimates range from more than 400 to over 640. Fescue pollen is a significant contributor to hay fever . The genus Festuca represents

504-562: The grasses are typically glabrous and smooth, though some species have scabrous culms or culms that are pubescent below the inflorescences . The leaf sheaths range from open to the base to closed to the top. Some species have sheaths that persist over years and typically have deciduous blades, and some species have sheaths that quickly shred into fibers and decay in senescence and typically have blades that are not deciduous. Species lack auricles . The membranous ligules measure 0.1–8 mm (0.0039–0.3150 in) and are typically longest at

532-430: The lemmas, with scabrous-ciliate veins. The regions between the veins are smooth and glabrous near the base of the paleas and become scabrous or puberulent distally. All grasses have three anthers . The ovaries are glabrous with occasionally hispidulous apices on which hairs persist when ovaries become caryopses . The oblong caryopses have adaxial grooves. The linear hila vary in length from half as long to as long as

560-1011: The margins and opposite of the midvein to adjacent to some or every lateral vein. These longitudinal strands occasionally merge into interrupted or continuous bands. Bands of confluent strands that reach veins are known as "pillars". The adaxial sclerenchyma tissue sometimes forms strands that are opposite or extend to epidermal veins. Some strands form "girders" together with the abaxial sclerenchyma tissue that connect epidermides at some or all veins. The inflorescences of species are open or contracted panicles , occasionally racemes , with one to two (rarely three) branches at their lower node . The branches are erect and begin to spread during anthesis , and occasionally lower branches are reflexed . The spikelets have two to twelve mostly bisexual florets . The rachillas are typically either scabrous or pubescent, but can occasionally be smooth and glabrous. The subequal or unequal glumes are ovate to lanceolate , acute to acuminate , and are typically exceeded by

588-536: The margins. The ligules are typically truncate and ciliate , though they can occasionally be acute or erose . The flat and conduplicate leaf blades are involute or convolute and are sometimes glaucous or pruinose . The abaxial surfaces of leaf blades are glabrous or scabrous and occasionally pubescent or puberulent . The adaxial surfaces of leaf blades are typically scabrous, though occasionally are hirsute or puberulent. The abaxial sclerenchyma tissue forms longitudinal strands that vary in presence from

616-479: The most important grazing fescues for North America, and F. arundinacea is one of the most important hay and pasture grasses in Europe. Fescue is easily established on bare ground, outcompeting other plants and persisting over several years, and so is often used in soil erosion control programs. Tall fescue ( F. arundinacea ) is good for this purpose, and one cultivar , 'Kentucky 31', was used in land reclamation during

644-583: The plant Dodoens described as Festuca altera is truly Bromus secalinus . Other authors before Linnaeus used the name to describe other various species of Bromus . In the first edition of "Genera Plantarum", Linnaeus describes seven species of Festuca , five of which are truly Bromus grasses with the other two being Festuca gigantea and Festuca pratensis . In 1753 the genus is accepted as first being formally described, in Linnaeus' "Species Plantarum". Eleven species were described, with F. ovina being

672-402: The region were marked by continued development of trade and the local economy, and a significant increase in the population . Floresti itself is first documented on 20 August 1588. The eighteenth century was marked by economic decline of the region because of the constant wars waged by the regional powers: Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth , Ottoman Empire , Russian Empire . In 1812 the region

700-786: The south, east to Camenca District , south-east Soldanesti District and west with Singerei District . Landscape is fragmented in Nistru Plateau , and less in Balti steppe in the west. Soil consists of chernozem , cambisol , alluvial soil and arenosol . Maximum altitude is 289 m Nistru plateau. District climate is temperate - continental . The average temperature in July is 20 °C (68 °F), and in January −5 °C (23 °F). Annual precipitation 450–550 mm, in some years up to 700–750 mm. Average wind speed 3–5 m/s. Fauna of

728-412: The type species. Of these eleven, one species was Danthonia , one Poa , and one Koeleria . The first major monograph on the genus was Hackel's "Monographia Festucarum Europaearum" in 1882. Since Linnaeus' publications, seven genera have been proposed for groups of perennial fescues and fifteen for annual fescues, all with varying degrees of acceptance. For example, in 1906 the subgenus Vulpia

756-554: Was introduced for North American species. The annual habit and shorter anthers of Vulpia has since been enough to distinguish Vulpia as a separate genus from Festuca . The taxonomy of the genus is ultimately problematic and controversial, as evidenced by the large number of small genera closely related to Festuca . Often distinguishing species within the genus requires the analysis of highly specific morphological differences on characters such as ovary pubescence or leaf sclerenchyma patterns. This distribution of sclerenchyma tissue

784-562: Was occupied by the Russian Empire , and besides the local Population of Moldovans , many Ukrainians and Russians settled here. In 1870 is certified as fair Floresti voloste center. After the collapse of Russian Empire in 1917, Bessarabia formed a union with Romania . In 1940 Basarabia it is again occupied by the USSR after the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact .
