Mibora maroccana (Mibora maroccana)

Description

Mibora is a genus of very small to small annual grasses with erect or sometimes quickly ascending stems (often called culms) between 2 and 13 cm long, growing in tufts. As in all grasses the leaves consist at its base of a sheath closely enveloping the culm, a free standing blade at its tip and a ligule at the inside/upside where sheath and blade meet. The sheaths are tender, shallowly grooved rounded at their back, 0.2-1 mm long. The ligule is membranaceus and lacks fine hairs (or cilia). The blade is flat, folded along the midline or enrolled and 1-6 cm long which are up to 0.5 to 0.7 mm wide and have a stump tip. The spikelets consist of one fertile floret, which has 3 anthers.
