California growing areas. First leaves are usually parallel to the ground. Mature plants are 1 to 3 feet
(30 - 90 cm) tall, with
branching and some spreading at their bases. Leaf blades are 4
to 15 inches (10 - 38 cm) long, and most have a spiral twist.
Flower heads are dense
spikes with yellow to reddish bristles. The ligule of yellow foxtail
is a fringe of hairs and there are no auricles. There are no
hairs
