Poaceae, Cyperaceae and Juncaceae Week: -grass 04 KD from Kamrup district, Assam for ID. : Attachments (9). 3 posts by 3 authors. Imperata cylinderica most probably… Yes, Imperata cylindrica
POEACEA ID from Bangladesh SM 186: (Mixed thread): 8 posts by 3 authors. 4 correct images as above. More than one species in this set, perhaps three? White ones is Imperata cylindrica (L.) P.Raeusch., _b_dec11080084 (182)_resize.JPG is a Setaria sp, _b_dec11080084 (163)_resize.JPG is Pennisetum species. This makes trouble, please read _b_dec11080084 (163)_resize.JPG is a Setaria and _b_dec11080084 (182)_resize.JPG (single spike) is Pennisetum. First two images seems to be Pennisetum pedicellatum and others Imperata cylindrica but image no. (116) confused with Saccharum spontaneum 1-2: Pennisetum spp. 1. Pennisetum glaucum 2. Pennisetum sp.
116. Saccharum spontaenum
22, 118 and 142 are of Imperata cyllindrica
163 – Pennisetum pedicellatum 182- Pennisetum polystachyon
55,118,22,142 – Imperata cylindrica
2669,116 – Saccharum spontaneum . Grass week : AR 07: Chandagal, Mysore Picture taken in Asansol (W.B.) on 05/06/11 time 05:59 PM. Locally it is called as kaansh. I have searched for the Botanical name & found it to be Saccharum spontaneum. I’m a bit confused also because kaansh flowers come around Durga Puja (say Sept-Oct) Please correct me if I’m wrong. The broader leaves to me look to be that of Typha Ths is NOT KASH PHOOL this is Imperata cylindrica. The cottony inflorescence with “things” entangles, the small height…. it doesnot necessarily flower only during autumn-durga pooja. It is called “chhoto kaash” or small kaash sometimes I am here with enclosing Saccharum spontaneum photographs Here with enclosing Imperata cyllindrica photograps THE PICTURES POSTED BY …. need some clarification.
