Requesting ID of a grass from a cultivated garden in Mumbai in Apr 2013.

Is this also Pogonatherum paniceum ?

May I request you to pl. post high resolution images to see the details.


Please find attached the Hi-res image.
Hopefully, this will help.

Definitely Pogonatherum, I think.

But is it Pogonatherum paniceum or Pogonatherum crinitum?
Please check these pictures too. Are they the same? I have marked them as Pogonatherum crinitum, but I am not 100% sure.

Pogonatherum paniceum. Most of the cultivated/ornamental are P.paniceum.

A Grass of Ajibarang Limestone: A short grass with brown inflorescence. In the past, I think it was
used for making the crickets cricking loudly? ID is requested.

My guess is Pogonatherum paniceum..
