User's notes

Another grass I am not sure about. Sheaves and underside of leaf hairy, some hairs on upper side of leaf. I can't quite tell, but I think the longest awn is coming off the palea. Lemma appears to be forked with shorter awns. (I hope I got the parts of the plant correct)

Mat I think this is either richardson's or monticola - the identification is by seed features particualrly the hair arrangement and middle awn

The lemma is very hairy. From what I can make out there are two rows of hairs.
