The inflorescence is a very dense, narrow panicle containing fascicles of spikelets interspersed with bristles. Meadow foxtail has a cylindrical inflorescence with glumes about wide and spikelets about long. The inflorescence is a raceme or panicle of spikelets measuring in length. The inflorescence branches into twin spikes of paired spikelets. The inflorescence is a loose panicle of branches bearing small spikelets long. The spikelets are further grouped into panicles or spikes. The inflorescence is usually divided into two branches lined with spikelets. The inflorescence has upright or spreading branches bearing cymes of up to 15 spikelets each. Their shorter rachis segments lead to spikelets packed closer together. The jointed rachis breaks into sharply pointed segments with three spikelets composing each segment. The inflorescence is a small, flattened cluster of dark spikelets. The inflorescence is unbranched, with spikelets on alternating sides edgeways-on to the stem. The inflorescence is a nodding spike up to long containing 5 to 20 spikelets. "Molinia caerulea" is cultivated for its panicles of purple spikelets on yellow stems. They have flowering culms up to tall bearing spikelets of papery flowers.
