Variation in Vulpia geniculata (L.) Link is described and the taxonomic significance of the characters that have been used in its classification is discussed. It is concluded that the form of the inflorescence is the soundest feature on which to base subspecies. The three subspecies, including subsp. flavescens (Sennen) Stace, comb. et stat. nov., are listed.
