Littledalea is a genus of Asian plants in the grass family, native to mountains in China and neighboring countries.[1] The genus is placed in its own tribe Littledaleae within subfamily Pooideae. The isolated tribe seems to be sister to the tribes Bromeae and Triticeae.[2]
Genus was named for British game hunter Clement St. George Royds Littledale (1851–1931) [1]
