The Meliceae are a tribe of grasses near the base of the Pooideae.[1] They include two relatively large genera, Melica (based on accounts in multiple regional floras) with about 80-90 species and Glyceria with about 55 species.[2] Its other genera are Koordersiochloa, Lycochloa, Pleuropogon, Schizachne, and Triniochloa.[3]
