As per Bor's GBCIP key, it is Brachiaria setigera as there are only 3 nerves on the lower glume. There are sparse bristles on the pedicels and very few bristles on the rachis and the spikelets are hairy. In case of B.ramosa, the lower glume is at least 5 nerved and there are dense bristles on the rachis as well. The species is confusing as POWO and various other images show something different from the key.

Thank you so much Manoj sir for the correct ID with proper explanation.

Urochloa setigera

syn Brachiaria setigera

Can we name it as Bristly Signal Grass.

Signal Grass as it belongs to Brachiaria-Urochloa group & Bristly from specific epithet highlighting hairs on rachis.

Thank you,
