Leersia lenticularis

Description

Branching cluster at the top of the stem, 2 to 10 inches long with 1 or 2 branches per node. Sometimes the lower branches are enclosed by the uppermost leaf sheath. Branches are 2- to 6 inches long, initially erect becoming spreading to drooping, each with 1 to 3 branchlets that are congested at the branch tip and remain more or less appressed to the branch. Spikelets (flower clusters) are arranged all on one side of a branchlet, appressed, much overlapping. Spikelets are short-stalked, broadly oval to nearly round in outline with a single floret.
