Location: Phulchoki, Lalitpur, Nepal
Date: 14 September 2024
Altitude: 2298m.
Habitat : Wild 

Festuca ??

Bromus himalaicus

There are 7 sps. listed in Nepal, viz., catharticus, himalaicus, japonicus, nepalensis, porphyranthos, staintonii and tectorum
with a matching elevation to catharticus and staintonii. Could it be staintonii ??


3 very high res. images.

Thank you for the detailed image. I am sorry for the previous misidentification. The detailed view of the spikelet reveals that the awn is not terminal, but dorsal, arising from around the middle of the lemma. This is a character of Helictotrichon under the tribe Aveneae.
The present species appears to be Helictotrichon junghuhnii (H.virescens) H. junghuhnii because of its shining green spikelets and nodding panicle.
