Ischaemum ciliare

Family – Poaceae

Habitat – Along marshy places and brooklets

Photographed at Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh In October 2018
Altitude – 700metres asl

This one is Ischaemum duthiei (=Ischaemum polystachyum).
Ischaemum ciliare = Ischaemum indicum will have broad wings on either side of sessile spikelet and usually will have two racemes only.

Thanks … for correcting id and clearing differences.
Yes it matches Ischaemum polystachyum
Synonyms – Ischaemum duthie
I had earlier searched for the Ischaemum duthie as this species is also mentioned in Flora of H.P but couldn’t find this name on Google so I thought this to be Ischaemum ciliare generally based on its marshy habitat along brooklets.
Sir may you please tell the distribution (states) of Ischaemum ciliare in India…
