efi page on Ophiuros exaltatus

This grass is Phacelurus speciosus found above 2500m not very common. Found in steep slopes and landslide areas. Good fodder and hence found in areas where herbivores cannot reach easily. We have also successfully tried to bring it to cultivation in Deoban nursery above Chakarata.

Thanks a lot … for follow up… many thanks … for details and identification…
