Abstract  Grasslands Excel' cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) was selected from a natural population collected in Spain. It is very similar to the current cultivar `Grasslands Wana' collected from the same region, but is three weeks later to head and has a much lower 1000-seed weight. It is similarly suitable for sites that are dry and severely grazed, but the delayed heading could offer higher nutritional value when other cultivars are heading.

Keywords  Dactylis glomerata; `Grasslands Excel' cocksfoot
