Sir / Madam,

I took a herbarium of this grass to BSI Shibpur today. It has been identified as Sporobolus diandrus though authentication could not be done with seal & signature because i didn't maintain proper protocol.

Thank you & Regards,

Sir,

I am fully indebted to you for taking care of all the grass species i have posted in the group. I will try to find more grass species in our locality. I often get confused whenever i find a grass, one moment they seem to be familiar species, while at very next moment they appear to be some new species.

Regards,

Surajit Koley

Yes. Sporobolus diander. Some authors consider it as Sporobolus indicus var. diander. 

It is called Drop Seed in English. Common in waste places.
