Description: A low successional grass which tends to occur on shallow, disturbed sites. Its basal leaves are somewhat twisted and have a white margin. At maturity, the inflorescence breaks loose and tumbles across pastures in the wind scattering seed. The inflorescences can typically be found piled up along fence rows or clumps of vegetation. It is of little value to wildlife and cattle. |
