Enneapogon persicus FOR VALIDATION :: Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park<\/a> : 8 posts by 3 authors. 3 images.
\nRao Jodha Desert Rock Park<\/span> \u00a0Jodhpur

Dear friends,
\nI am aware that ID of grass cannot be attempted with photos alone; yet I am posting few photos with the hope that it can be identified at least to genus level, based on distribution and general appearance. The posted grass was growing in some patches of the park.<\/p>\n

\n

love the third picture esp
\nalthough i really cant help nail down the id<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Thanks … And I am depending solely on the third picture – that it helps in recognizing the grass rather than identifying !<\/p>\n

Enneapogon brachystachyus<\/i> found gregariously in deserts of India and Africa. Presently, it is considered as a synonym of E.desvauxii<\/i>, which is an American species. However, further study is required to analyse the similarities and differences between the two. Please see the specimen from Bikaner seen by Bor in GBCIP – (D.Gupta s.n., Bikanir (I don’t know where it is kept)).<\/span> Enneapogon persicus<\/i> is found in higher elevations above 1000m in dry arid slopes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At\u00a0iNaturalist<\/a>, Patrick Alexander is sure that the ID of posted plant is not\u00a0Enneapogon desvauxii<\/i>\u00a0P.Beauv. … he suggests\u00a0Enneapogon cenchroides<\/i>\u00a0(Licht.) C.E.Hubb.<\/p>\n

\n

I too agree that E.brachystachyus<\/em> should not be considered synonymous to E.desvauxii<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span>
\nE.cenchroides<\/em> has a denser inflorescence with longer glumes and awns. Also four awns are shorter than the other five awns,<\/span> whereas E.brachystachys<\/em> has equal awns and shorter glumes.<\/span> (Dissection photos with scale may confirm)<\/p>\n
