Festuca dolichophylla is a type of grass found in western South America, specifically in Costa Rica. It is a perennial plant with tall, erect stems and long, narrow leaves. The panicle, or flower cluster, is open and elongated, with several small spikelets containing multiple florets. The glumes, or protective coverings of the florets, are thin and pointed. The fertile lemma, or seed-bearing structure, is purple in color and has a pointed tip. The flowers have three stamens and the fruits are caryopses with an extra layer. This grass is unique to its region and has specific physical characteristics that distinguish it from other species.
