Paresh Ji,

Here, Imperata cylindrica hardly grows beyond 3 ft. It doesn't look like I. c. At the same time i am not sure if it is S.spontaneum, grasses are very confusing and I am not confident over them.

So, please wait for Manoj sir or likes.

Thank you

Regards

This is Saccharum bengalense

In case of S.spontaneum the branches of the panicles are usually simple whereas in S.bengalense the branches are further branched. The several culms (stems) of S.spontaneum spread over large areas, whereas in S.bengalense, the culms form distinct clumps. 

Imperata cylindrica has silvery white contracted panicles almost taking a cylindrical spike like shape and usually do not grow very tall like Saccharums.
