sweetgrasses

genus Anthoxanthum

Member of grasses (family Poaceae)
grasses, sedges, cattails, and allies (order Poales)
monocots (class Liliopsida)
flowering plants (subphylum Angiospermae)

Except for extremely rare examples that I don't expect to encounter, there are no other wild species of this genus in the bay area.


It is easy to distinguish these species during flower.
