I had seen this growing wild at the out skirts of Mumbai. Could this be Pennisetum glaucum?? (Escape from the field)? Yes it is Bajra
requesting identification of this plant of family Poaceae growing wild
about 5 feet tall It’s quite likely that the shown plant is Bajra. बाजरी Pennisetum glaucum thank you for the Id .
Grass week: Pennisetum glaucum from Delhi – efloraofindia | Google Groups Attached images are unknown grass sp. from Assam. Please ID the species.
Date : 30.05.2020
Location: Assam Family : Poaceae Genus & species : ?? Habitat: Grows wild on road side Habit : Herb Phalaris minor. The inflorescence characters are not visible due to pollen. This doesn’t look like Phalaris minor. It must be Pearl Millet (Bajra). Could be. Need to know the size of the plant and inflorescence to confirm. Phalaris minor inflorescence would be only a few cm long, whereas pearl millet would be much longer and stouter. .
Identification required 8865: 3 images.
Location: Pampore srinagar j & K. Photo collected by Umar Samad on 12 |09|2021.
Sorghum bicolor I hope I guess you are right … ! Its Bajra/Pearl millet – Pennisetum americanum probably a fodder Bajra variety which has escaped from cultivation. . |
