Notes:
This is growing near a pond and in pine woodland edge. ItÕs clumping. It has tiny hairs at the leaf. It has a white line on parallel leaves. Somewhat corn like. About to 10-15 flower heads per clump. Not terribly invasive. Flower doesnÕt look like feather reed or Johnson Grass to me. No huge rhizomes. Help!!

Hi Laura. I looked at your link and that is definitely the plant. I tried very hard to indentify this plant. Thanks for your help. I’m trying to keep natives!

Maybe a species in the Saccharum genus? If this is of the genus, without local location, it would be hard to narrow down which species this is. You could check the included link of the BONAP’s North American Plant Atlas map for species that listed in your state. For now check out some in the genus. Click on images to enlarge. Best wishes!

Thanks for your reply! Sorry that Google thinks I’m so Southern that I couldn’t have meant 5-7 foot TALL rather than y’all. I had eliminated it as anything native. I guess you would agree? I don’t know how it got where it is.
