Description

Festuca salzmannii is an annual with slender, erect stems up to 40 cm (1 ft 4 in) tall that are relatively rigid. The inflorescence can be up to 23 cm (9 in) long, usually unbranched, but rarely with a few branches. Individual spikelets have 4–6 florets and are typically 4–7 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long. The ripe grains are 1–1.8 mm (0.04–0.07 in) long.

In 1913, Georges Rouy placed it as the sole species in the genus Narduroides. As of November 2024, Plants of the World Online regarded Narduroides as a synonym of Festuca.
