<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">The photo seems to be of S. faberi as all have suggested, a few further notes:
<div><br>
<div>S. faberi is the more robust species, and the inflorescence is usuallly obviously lax, drooping from near the base to the middle. The bristles number (1) 3 (6) per spikelet, the longest are typically ca 10 mm long and finely scabrous, and the longest
ones are at least 2xs as long as the spikelets</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>S. viridis var. viridis inflorescences are short and erect.</div>
<div>S. viridis var. major has longer inflorescences than var. viridis and they can nod near the top</div>
<div>The bristles number 1 to 3 per spikelet, the longest are usually shorter, but vary from 5 to 10 mm long, and are distinctly scabrous with the hooks oriented toward the tips, they are shorter relative to the spikelet length than in S. faberi.</div>
