- Observation Thirteen Alaskan grass species initiated floral inflorescences in autumn.
- Observation After initiation, floral development varied in degree among the Alaskan grasses, depending on species.

- Observation Grasses introduced from more temperate latitudes did not initiate floral inflorescences in autumn.
