Wiregrass, threeawn

Aristida Spp

bunchgrass, usually upright and tufted

Narrow, linear, usually rolled or folded leaves

Small, inconspicuous flowers arranged in an open or narrow panicle

3 long awns are the BIG identifying feature — hence threeawn

Usually green during the growing season; can turn tan/straw-colored when mature

Provides cover and nesting habitat; seeds can be eaten by birds and other wildlife, although it generally isn't a highly preferred forage

Grass → monocot → Poaceae
