ID Features: This bunchgrass grows 25 to 50 inches tall and is less robust than tall dropseed, Leaf blades normally are flat, but tend to roll inward with maturity, making them appear round and tapering to a point at the tip. The panicle is slender, somewhat compressed with the base enclosed in the upper leaf sheath.
