Question
Hi, Would you help me to identify these grasses found in a very long row along the entrance to Woodneck Beach, Falmouth, MA. (Cape Cod). The grasses were about 5-6 feet tall. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with so many!
Answer
Dear srferando+, hello. I'm glad you were able to get images uploaded. The grasses look like a member of the genus Phragmites (reed), and are likely Phragmites australis (common reed). The panicles are not obviously provided with abundant white hairs at this time of the season (but will become so later as the spikelets mature). Best wishes.
