grass ID1 from Hooghly 15/9/12 SK1: I regret that i have lost the piece of paper where i noted down leaf & raceme sizes of this grass. There were a few of this grass in an uncultivated land growing by the dense vegetation of Saccharum sp. (possibly S. spontaneum L.).
Is this grass Paspalum scrobiculatum L. ?
Species ; UNKNOWN
Habit & Habitat : found in an uncultivated land, about 2.5 feet high
Date : 8/9/12, 3.00 p.m.

Leaves : average 10 cm x 6 mm
Raceme : 6 cm

Bangalore outskirts I would have certainly identified it as Paspalum scrobiculatum L., if there were a few racemes more…. but then FoC says it can have only two racemes.
Please, wait for experts…
Thank you very much for identifying as P. scrobiculatum sir. 🙂 I did a mistake, the correct words would be – Paspalum scrobiculatum L. sometimes can have more than two racemes. Please, check the KEY by …- efi thread. i am agreeing with …
It is Paspalum scrobiculatum. It may have 2 or 3 racemes. No issues! References:
