Description: The state grass of Texas. Its spikelets have an oat-like resemblance and appear to come off one side of the panicle branch. It can also be easily identified vegetatively by the evenly spaced glandular-based hairs at the lower part of the leaf. It provides cover for some wildlife species and good forage for cattle. |
