Uploading 011210GS1 a grass for ID from Delhi
Growing commonly in Delhi, alt. 213 m, as a weed in cultivated fields, wastelands, flower beds. I have not been able to fix this grass, perhaps Brachiaria reptans or Eriochloa procera


I have seen this grass in West Bengal too if I am not wrong


No your plant is different. In Allotropsis cimicina you can see those inflorescence is more of a cyme. emerging from the same point, yours is a raceme.


Urochloa ramosa earlier called as brachiaria ramosa


I judge it is Urochloa ramosa.


I’m totally confirmed that this is Brachiaria sp. but can’t say its species without dissection.
