Kindly identify. about 3-4 ft in height. Is it Arundinella spicata? Sorry just one picture.


This is Arundinella pumila. But the amplexicaul leaves you see in the background are not of this species, but are of Arthraxon sp.; the inflorescences are yet to come out. You can see that the inflorescence of Arthraxon is still inside the sheath, may be it will come out in another few days

A. spicata, as the name suggests has dense spicate inflorescence, whereas this one has widely spreading inflorescence with very small spikelets.

Could it be some Panicum sp.?

Also check with Sporobolus sps.


From another thread ( https://groups.google.com/indiantreepix/07… #):


Eragrostis tenella?


May be some species of Sporobolus???


Eragrostis tenella


ARUNDINELLA SPICATA


Photo is not so clear, but yes by proper observation it look closer to Arundinella


May be Panicum sp. I’m saying only on the basis of leaves whatever i am seeing in the photograph. Inflorescence is not clear so i can’t say more.
