Attaching cropped images (although of very poor quality)

These pictures are of Poa koelzii. The three pictures in the earlier post were of Cyperaceae – the inflorescence is different and borne on peduncles having triangular cross section. The photo in the link is also Poa koelzii. The same grass in a better form is also posted at https://www.flowersofindia.Koelz%27s%20Grass.html
