| Notes: | Label source: This grass has needle-like fruit with arrowhead shaped awns. When blown off the plant by wind they tend to stick together forming large balls which bowl or skid along the ground. It is thought that this phenomenon is a dispersal mechanism a, kin to that of the tumbleweeds. | ||||
