Paspalum
thunbergii is a hairy perennial in paddies or roadsides.
Rhizomes are short, so stems arise in bundles and grow 30-80cm tall.
Leaf-sheaths, surfaces, and nodes of flower stem cover themselves
with tender hairs with coarse hairs, especially on the lower parts
of leaf sheaths. Blades are flat, 10-30cm long, 5-10mm wide, and
ligules 1mm high. Flower stalks extend high, with 3-5 lateral
branches with spikelets arranged at intervals. The lateral branches,
6-8cm long, grow diagonally straight. Bloom time: July-October. |
