About Polypogon monspeliensis (L.) Desf.
Polypogon monspeliensis, commonly called annual beard-grass or annual rabbitsfoot grass, is a species of grass. It is native to the Old World, and today it can be found worldwide as an introduced species that is sometimes classified as a noxious weed. This is an annual grass that grows between 5 centimeters and 1 meter tall. Its soft, fluffy inflorescence forms a dense, greenish, plumelike panicle, which is sometimes split into lobes. Its spikelets bear long, thin, whitish awns, which give the inflorescence its characteristic soft, fluffy texture.
