  • Question

    A grass growing out of mud. Last year this spot had standing water year round but this summer it's just mud. (Same place you identified Boehmeria cylindrica for me; I think those are the broad leaves in the background.) In the woods, Lincoln, Massachusetts.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, I'm sorry but I cannot identify this grass from the images. I can, very likely, identify it is person. Is there a possibility of mailing it to me with a smartweed specimen?
