Attached images are unknown grass species. Please ID for these. Microstegium vagans. The depression on the spikelet is the identifying character of Microstegium. Also the leaf base is narrowed almost into a petiole.
One more grass for ID ABAUG01/25 : 4 posts by 2 authors. 3 images. This one was growing next to the other grass I posted earlier. The leaves were not too dissimilar (narrower and darker though) but the flowers I felt were. Please advise.
