Hello friends

Saw this grass at 2 places - in the Aarey forest and in a marshy area in Charkop, Mumbai, MH in September/October 2019. This was very common there.

Is this Aplida mutica? The peculiar characteristic indicated was that there is a small petiole for the blade.

Requested to please provide ID.

Thanks and regards
Alka Khare

The Aarey grass is Spodiopogon rhizophorus and the Charkop grass is Apluda mutica. Both of them have leaf base narrowed into a petiole. The former have larger leaves and rounded leaf base above the petiole part, whereas the latter has leaf base narrowing into a petiole.
