Ophiuros exaltatus (L.) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 2: 780 1891. (Syn: Aegilops exaltata L.; Mnesithea exaltata (L.) Skeels; Ophiuros corymbosus (L.f.) C.F.Gaertn.; Ophiuros tongcalingii (Elmer) Henrard; Rottboellia corymbosa L.f.; Rottboellia exaltata (L.) L.f.; Rottboellia punctata Retz.; Rottboellia tongcalingii Elmer);
Grass for identification from Jamnagar, Gujrat: Here I am posting the photos of the grass for identification.
I found this grass in an area prone to water logging (though there was no water) – a kind of a large depression in Jamnagar, Gujarat. I have seen this grass growing in other places in Jamnagar where water logging is not a problem. It also monopolizes certain area or found in clusters. Not seen near Sea side.
A hardy species with strong stem. Cannot be easily pulled or broken off. Height about 2-2.5m when fully grown. Inflorescence resembles like stem of a xerophyte.
this one is Ophiuros exaltatus
