Leersia oryzoides
Common name: Rice Cut Grass
Great grass for moist and wet ground areas that need stabilization. The color is an outstanding light green and makes for nice color on banks and shorelines away from paths but in the field of view. Watch your fingers with this benign looking grass. It’ll bite ya! Most people learn not to walk through these plants with bare legs.
