Rottboellia (Christen Friis Rottboell, a Danish botanist,1727-1797). Gramineae. Annual or perennial, usually robust grasses of the tribe Andropogoneae, found mostly in warmer regions of the world. The species furnish some forage but they are scarcely horticultural. Spikelets in pairs as in Andropogon, awnless, arranged in cylindrical spikes, more or less embedded in the axis, the first glume coriaceous and covering the excavation of the rachis-joint. The genus is more properly referred to Manisuris by recent authors, this name being taken up on technical grounds. A. S. Hitchcock.
