In spaced‐plant trials in Scotland, nineteen strains of Dactylis glomerata were assessed for the following characters: habit of growth in early spring, at ear emergence and at flowering; date of ear emergence; length of stem and weight of plant at anthesis; amount of aftermath shooting. The following characters in a strain were found to be related to its date of ear emergence: habit of growth at ear emergence and at flowering; stem length. No relation was found between date of ear emergence and plant weight, aftermath shooting or spring growth habit. The strains are allotted to grades on the basis of each character and, in an overall classification, all except one fall into two main groups on the basis of relative earliness and lateness.
