What kind of grass is this?

[Oddjob1]

Hello all,

this will probably see me as a mug, but no surprise to me, in any event here goes.
One piece of grass on our property has me perplexed and no I haven't been out with the Texta it is as you see it. Can anyone give a name to this grass?

Thanks,

Oddjob1

If its grass it has to be Mary Jane!!

Why not Summer? :?

[jhovel]

My son the horticulturalist can't identify it, but believes its in the couch grass family. He thinks it may be an ornamental hybrid or a mutation.....

Is it Zebra Grass ????? After all it has stripes. :)

[Cliff Rogers]

Nuh, stripes go the wrong way.

[Scott]

I do believe it's some sort of grass.

He he,

I should have known I'd get bladed on this! Species, I suppose would've been a better word.
Anyway thanks Joe for getting your son to have a look at the pic, we do have Couch grass all around here so Hybrid or mutation could be the thing.
In any event it could be worth a million dollars or if let propagate, ruin the world as we know it! Just imagine all those lovely bands popping up in your lawn hey.
Anyway I'll keep an eye on it and in the true spirit of the silly season I have named it.
Bandicouch.:rolleyes:

Oddjob1.
Very apt name. Well done. But I still prefer Zebra grass even tho the stripes run the wrong way. :)

Very similar grass grows on the south west slopes in NSW. The stripe is not as wide but then again, everything is bigger and better in QLD. It seems to like low ground, prone to waterlogging then drying out in summer. Absolute mongrel stuff, nothing will eat it and spreads like the plague. Sell up!

Hey Oddjob1,
as chambezio said, its a weed.

And the difference between a weed and a plant?

Nothing, a plant is just a desirable weed :U

Happy New year..........Ian

Now that I think about it I think I have seen this grass in singapore. It was 15 years ago though, may have been bangkok but don't think I saw grass there.

My Dad used to call it Crab Grass and it grew prolifically in his yard. Strangely enough when he passed away 5 years ago and his ashes interred in the lawn cemetery near us..my mum & I still laugh at the clumps of it that grow above his plot BUT NO WHERE ELSE in the area.

He called it CRAB GRASS.
