ID grass
as two of you are the same opinion a have to agree :-)
in my books, dactylis glomerata looks more like this http://www.boga.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/h...rata_Foto.html and i think the one on my image has simplier, smaller and more homogeneous structure. but maybe the book/page image is taken at different season, i can't deny. many thanks & greets Paul |

Certainly, Dactylis glomerata is a common enough grass, so it should not be hard to find comparative material. PvR |

ID grass--Dactylis
The inflorescences on Dactylis glomerata can vary quite a bit in size
and density. It's not common here, so in our graduate level agrostology class, the prof had us study herbarium sheets. All the ones we had to look at were rather depauperate, and on the ID quiz he made sure to put a big, lush one, just to make it harder... M. Reed |
