Abstract
Grasslands Excel' cocksfoot(Dactylis glomerata L.) was selected from a natu ral population collected in Spain. It is very similar to the current cultiv ar 'Grasslands Wana' collected from the same region, but is three weeks lat er to head and has a much lower 1000-seed weight. It is similarly suitable for sites that are dry and severely grazed, but the delayed heading could o ffer higher nutritional value when other cultivars are heading.
