Here is the reply from UNEMPLOYED PLANT EXPLORER, that's me...
Arundina graminifolia !!

[Dr. Pankaj Kumar]

"Gramen" is a latin word for "grass"; "gramineus" means 'grass like'
and so "graminifolia" means 'grass like leaf'.

Dear Pankaj ji and Tabish ji,
Thanks for ID. I was checking its latin name Graminifolia. What is the
gramini stands for?
Regards.
