Festuca abyssinica is a species of grass which is endemic to Africa.

Description

The plant is perennial and caespitose with {{convert|15|–|60|cm}} long culms. The ligule is {{convert|0.5|–|1|mm}} long and is going around the eciliate membrane. Leaf-blades are filiform and are {{convert|3|–|25|cm}} long and {{convert|1|–|3|mm}} wide. The panicle is contracted, linear, inflorescenced and {{convert|8|–|20|cm}} long. Spikelets are lanceolate, ovate, solitary, {{convert|6.5|–|12|mm}} long, and have pedicelled fertile spikelets that carry 2–6 fertile florets which have a diminished apex. It also has a hairy callus and scaberulous palea keels.[1]

The glumes are lanceolate, membranous, and keelless, have acute apexes, with the only difference being in size. The upper one is {{convert|5.5|–|8.5|mm}} long while the other one is ovate and is {{convert|6|–|10|mm}} long. Fertile lemma is {{convert|6.5|–|9.5|mm}} long and is also chartaceous, elliptic and keelless with scaberulous surface. Lemma itself is muticous with acute apex. Flowers have a hairy ovary and three stamens that are {{convert|2|–|2.5|mm}} long. The fruits are caryopses with an additional pericarp, which just like flowers is hairy as well. Hilum is linear.[1]
