--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>usually perennial, annual in some environments that have a sufficient growing season for seed production in a single year; cespitose or matlike. <b>Culms</b> 2-19 cm, erect or procumbent, not rooting at the lower nodes, glabrous; prophylls 4-10 mm. <b>Sheaths</b> not inflated, those of the basal leaves usually fused only near the base, those of the flag leaves closed for at least 1/2 their length; auricles absent; ligules membranous, glabrous, acute; blades flat or conduplicate. <b>Inflorescences</b> panicles, dense or diffuse. <b>Spikelets</b> pedicellate, with 1 floret, laterally compressed to nearly terete; rachillas not prolonged beyond the florets; disarticulation above the glumes and beneath the florets. <b>Glumes</b> to 1/3 the length of the florets, ovate, without veins, caducous or persistent, unawned; lower glumes highly reduced; calluses short, glabrous; lemmas 1-3-veined, not strongly keeled, apices acute to rounded, unawned; paleas subequal to the lemmas; lodicules 2, free, glabrous; anthers 1 or 2; ovaries glabrous. <b>Caryopses</b> exceeding the lemmas and exposed at maturity, x = 7.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Phippsia</i> has two species, one of which is found in arctic Eurasia, Greenland, and the Canadian arctic islands; the other is circumpolar in the arctic, and is also known from the Rocky Mountains of North America and the high Andes of South America.</p>
