Grass for ID :: Jammu :: APR2018 MK003 : 9 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (8)

Please help me in identifying this medium-sized grass. The leaves are hairy and slightly leathery.

My picture quality gets reduced drastically and it becomes very difficult to identify; so only sending large sized file; apologies for this.

Habitat: hill slopes

Alt.: 400 m asl

Date: 24.01.2018

Place: Jammu (outskirts, rural), J & K

I think Eriophorum comosum

Agree with … Not a grass but a member of Cyperaceae.

Many thanks for identifying this Cyperaceae

It seems to be Erioscirpus comosus (Wall.) Palla =Eriophorum comosum (Wall.) Nees
