| I'm trying to figure out which of these wild grasses are native coastal prairie species. They were in a disturbed area near a contruction site in SE Texas and I've got a few that I'm pretty sure about but would appreciate some of your input. Thanks!
Grass #1 I think this one might be silver bluestem (Bothriochloa saccharoides)
Grass #2 Could this be a Chloris species?
Grass #3 This one made up the majority of the plants in the area. At first I thought it was just Dallis grass but it has long awns(?) on it's seeds which Dallis grass dosen't.
Grass #4
Grass #5 I'm pretty sure this one is Eastern Gamagrass (Tripsacum dactyloides)
Thanks so much! Andrew |

| Texasflip, none of these are grasses I am familiar with, being in northern Illinois, but I feel bad that no one else has replied! I'd say you are on the target with the ones you have tentatively identified, after going quickly through the site posted below. I love it when I find a plant I'm curious about in MissouriPlants.com, because they have wonderful close-up pictures for ID'ing. They keep adding more species--some of the info is incomplete, I think because the grasses were added recently (at least I don't remember them being there). |
