Jansenella griffithiana (C. Mull.) Bor:
Attaching the images of Jansenella griffithiana (C. Mull.) Bor
This plant is is distributed in India, Myanmar and Srilanka which remained as a monotypic genus untill recently.

Recently a new species- Jansenella neglecta S. R. Yadav, Chivalkar et Gosavi- have been described from Maharashtra. The name ‘neglecta‘ indicates the cryptic nature of the species being neglected among the populations of J. griffithiana. An account of both species is available in 20th volume of Rheedea (Vol. 20(1):38-43, 2010).
Photograph of the plant is taken from Amboli, Kolahapur District of Maharashtra (21.01.2011).
Image of the spikelet is taken from a collection of this species from Wayanad, Kerala.

Lovely picture thanks for sharing, yes Jansenella griffithiana (plant shows variations)

Jansnella griffithiana. It is an interesting photograph. The inflorescence is of Jansnella, but the green linear leaves are of some other species, probably, Dimeria, whose inflorescence (paired racemes) can be seen in the background of the third photograph. The leaves (cordate based) of Jansnella griffithiana have dried up and can be seen on close observation of the photograph. Would like to have a close up of the other species too.


Thank you very much … for the IDs.
Now that you made clear about the mix of grasses, it is easy to realize.
I checked the 3rd photograph; but none of the paired racemes are in focus – therefore not uploading any cropped version.
Instead, sending you the original photo (full size – 5MB) in separate mail.
