Summary[edit] Description: A common road side grass especially where sandy, gravelly, or otherwise well drained, Sporobolus cryptandrus often harbors its inflorescence within a curved leaf sheath. The similar direction of the inflorescence arcs render this species very conspicous even at at high speed from inside a car. Date: 6 September 2009, 10:29.
