I thought there was a bigger thread with loads of pics of different phalaris but I couldn't find it. Have a search and you may have more luck, or hopefully someone will come along who can directly answer you.

thanks much tony!

This info is abundant and may be helpful... http://www.erowid.org/li...c3_part2_phalaris.shtml
Also, does anyone have info on finding some thread actually dedicated to identification of phalaris grasses? It seems to be a dfficult thing, to just identify these plants in nature or not grown oneself. I am no botanist.

Is it possible for you to take very close pictures of all the areas of the plant? Mainly the top portion areas.

..like MMPA said..though i suspect the inflorescence (flower clusters), when developed, are not dense enough..need to be able to seeclose up glumes (leaf bracts) too..

when you say Phalaris A., i assume you mean Arundinacea..it is definitely not P. Aquatica..

i am about to post some images of P. arundinacea in Phalaris = The Way Of The Future here to aid in ID..

Thanks! here are some close up pics, and yes i meant phalaris arundinacea.

And

this pic

..hmm..grass ID is the sort of thing botanists pull out magnifying glasses for..
i'm beginning to suspect it's Calamagrostis canadensis (a common grass in US/Canada which is mistaken for P. arundinacea - plenty of google images)
..perhaps you could look around for confirmed phalaris (any species, as the flower parts close up are similar) to compare..

Thanks again, i guess a good way to go about knowing that i have phalaris in my front yard is to buy some good seeds and plant em!

will have some close close pics of the first plant shot tomorrow...
