Hello everyone, does anyone knows this Poacea? I think that this plant belongs to Sporobolus. Maybe Sporobolus pyramidatus (Lam.) Hitchcock? Can anyone kindly help me to identificate this plant? Habitat: It grows in disturbed soils, coastal sands. Italy, on the level sea (0 m), september 2014 Thanks a lot! MD
Did you check this site: http://luirig.altervista.org/flora/taxa/floraspecie.php?genere=Sporobolus Among the listed species, S. virginicus and S. pungens have open inflorescences. You can check their distribution maps to see whether these species are listed for your province.
Thanks for your reply, Andrey. I know this site, but I don't think that this species belongs to one mentioned. In particular: - S. virginicus Kunth (synonim of S. pungens (Schreb.) Kunth) has leaves conspicuously distichous, but the ones in my pics doesn't seems to me like this; also in S. virginicus the rim of hairs (ligula) is 0.2 mm, but in my pics is much longer. The only Sporobolus species present in my area for the litterature are S. virginicus and S. indicus. I think that this Sporobolus is new for the area, maybe for the region (Tuscany). Thank you, MD
