| I live on a wooded lot next to a river. This plant grows around the edges of the woods and in the woods down to the river. It seems to crowd everything out.
Can you tell me what it is?

| Looks to be a grass, perhaps a Dichanthelium. Have you seen any with flowers? |
|
| I have not seen any with flowers. This plant reminds me of another weed I've had in my gardens that gets a blue flower, but I really don't think it is the same plant. |
|
| The leaves can look a bit like dayflower. Here's a link that might help. When it mentions a "ligule" it means a membranous bit of tissue on the inside of the leaf where it meets the stem. Sometimes the ligule can have hairs in panic grasses. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Deer-tongue Panic Grass

| I found some of the plants that went to seed. I think you are right on that it is Dichanthelium. Now if i can keep it out of my edge of the woods. The ferns seem to win over it. Thanks! |

| My guess would be Deer-tongue Grass or Deer-tongue Panic Grass (Dichanthelium clandestinum) |
