This is Isachne globosa<\/i>. Look carefully and you can see the glandular band on the pedicels of the spikelets, which is characteristic of only a few of the species of the genera and only this species from peninsular india has this character<\/span><\/p>\n

Isachne himalaica<\/i><\/div>\n
Family – Poaceae<\/i><\/div>\n
Habitat – Found along brooklets in marshy paddy fields sharing habitat often with Ischaemum polystachyum<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n
I was earlier thinking this grass to be Isachne globosa<\/i> which is widely distributed species but because of its erect habitat with large globose purple spikelets, narrower leaf blades and presence in Himalayan region, i think this is Isachne himalaica<\/i>.<\/div>\n
Experts please validate…<\/div>\n
Photographed at Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Altitude – 700metres asl.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Isachne globosa<\/i>. <\/span>You can see the glands on the pedicels of the spikelets, which is a characteristic feature of I.globosa<\/i>. <\/span>Isachne himalaica<\/i> has a denser panicle with more branches and linear-lanceolate shape of panicle.
\n<\/span>You also mentioned that it shares habitat with <\/span>Ischaemum polystachyum<\/i>. But the other grasses in the picture seems to be some other species. Could you kindly send pictures of inflorescence of this grass too to validate its identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Thanks a lot … for correcting and clearing differences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The grass sharing habitat with Isachne globosa<\/i> is Ischaemum polystachyum<\/i>, which was also earlier identified by you.<\/div>\n
Here i am sharing its link, you can see Isachne<\/i> growing with it in one of the image…

Cyrtococcum accrescence<\/i>. The spikelets should be plano-convex.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

May I request you to kindly give your view on the matter.
\nInterestingly, I too have relied on your comment on another thread<\/a>
\nDinesh ji, please await Manoj ji’s response.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Yes it is Isachne<\/i> sp. For species identification, rest of the characters in the dissected spikelet may be required. … upload also could be Isachne<\/i> rather than Cyrtococcum<\/i><\/p>\n
