The genus name Andropogon comes from the Greek words 'aner' or 'andros' meaning "man" and 'pogon' meaning "beard", in reference to the hairs on the spikelets of certain species in this genus. The specific epithet glomeratus means "bunched", in reference to the species' bushy and broom-like inflorescences.
Paspalum floridanum is a species of grass known by the common name Florida paspalum.It is native to the eastern United States. [1]This rhizomatous perennial grass has stems which can exceed two meters in height.
The flowers of the grass are grouped together, forming long, airy clusters along a stem that rises above the leaves to a length of about 18 inches (460 mm) and width of 10 inches (250 mm). [ 3 ] Flowers of M. capillaris are perfect with each having about two or three stamens and anthers that are about 1–1.8 mm long.
The foliage is yellow-green. In the autumn, it produces large (30–70 cm long by 20–30 cm wide) effuse inflorescences (clusters on a stalk) of tiny red and purple spikelets (the type of flower seen in grasses). [1] [2] It produces purple seeds weight about a third of a milligram. [2] Propagation is by seed or sprigging. [2]
This species is a rhizomatous perennial grass with stems growing up to 70 centimetres (2.3 feet) tall. The leaves are up to 25 centimetres (9.8 inches) long and the ligule is very short. There are small terminal and axillary panicles bearing flowers. [1] The panicles are purple in color. [2] The spikelets are just a few millimeters in length.
Alliums' playful pom-poms comprise tiny purple flowers. This plant prefers full sun, but it can accommodate partial shade in warmer temperatures. USDA Hardiness Zones: 3 to 10.
The leaf sheathes and small, rigid leaves of the grass are scabrous. The ligule is a ring of short hairs. Its terminal panicles are 3–7 cm (1.2–2.8 in) long, with rigid and divergent branches. The rose-purple spikelets of the grass are 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long with two to five flowers and have rather short pedicels. The flowering ...
This category contains the native flora of Florida as defined by the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. Taxa of the lowest rank are always included; taxa of higher ranks (e.g. genus) are only included if monotypic or endemic. Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries).
