    This was in the same area as the fox sedge, the wood fern, and the wild cucumber. On land that slopes down to a swamp and a stream...in Wayland, MA. Thanks

    Answer

    This is a non-native grass, Dactylis glomerata (orchard grass) that is very frequent in pastures, fields, and other open areas. It has closed sheaths and short, stiff branches with somewhat one-sided arrays of spikelets.
