  • Question

    Hi! This grass was found in a forested wetland along a slow moving stream in S.E. CT. It is approx 2ft in height. The grass was loosely clumped and is common in the region. Also do you have any good recommendations on grass references/guides. Thanks!

    Dear eehrlich, From the images provided, it looks like Glyceria striata (fowl manna grass). Start there with your confirmation and let me know if it doesn't seem correct.
