Please help me in identifying this grass species, found in open fallow land as lawn.

Date: 25 Aug 2014 It is
dactyloctenium aristatum Could be Dactyloctenium aristatum, Dactyloctenium aegyptium. The racemes are fewer in number and plants shorter in stature probably due to grazing by cattle. In areas of cattle grazing or lawn mowing by machines, many grasses appear in dwarf forms with abnormal inflorescences rather than their full form. I am not aware of much, and I am rather afraid of grasses, because of lot of size variation. Today morning only, matter of Dactylectenium came up in a conversation in another group. On my walk I did find 2 types of it, and I have a third type which is exactly like the specimen in this post. Peculiarity of this type is, it appeared after first rains ….never grew more than 10 cm, on main axis spikelet was one held at an angle in 99%, 1% had two, usually tip bare ……it dried and died fast, in a month even though rains were more than normal. Why I got curious…..crowfoot grass is something I am familiar with since early childhood. I do not remember its dwarf edition. Thanks, …, I think one by one should be OK to start with. one by one, … is better. than everybody who knows about grasses can chip in. Sure sir. In a day or two. Let me organize my images and get them to size
