Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Juncaceae Week: Poaceae-Phleum paniculatum from Kashmir-GS95 : Attachments (3). 4 posts by 3 authors.
Phleum paniculatum Huds, Photographed from Srinagar Kashmir, often found as weed at lower altitudes.


I would have definitely said Phalaris minor on seeing the above photographs, this is so close…thanks for showing..


This is Phalaris minor


Thanks … for correction. I had not known about Phalaris minor when in Kashmir, and saw it for the first time in Delhi.
As reported in FBI Phalaris minor does not ascend above 1500 m. This was growing at alt of 1700 m. May be it has now extended to Kashmir valley.
We had similar plant collected from Srinagar and Ladakh which I had identified as Phleum paniculatum. I am uploading both for confirmation.
