Dear all,
My colleague told that this grass is also found as weed in paddy field at Kancheepuram district of TN (near Chennai). So, this should be a wetland species. The white seeds are used by local kids for playing.

Coix aquatica is a certain choice. The plant in the pictures seems to
grow in hilly area!
