Echinochloa colonum

Eleusine indica, the Indian goosegrass, yard-grass, goosegrass, wiregrass, or crowfootgrass. It is a small annual grass distributed throughout the warmer areas of the world to about 50 degrees latitude. The plant is clump- forming, branching from the base, culms are 40-95 cm tall. Leaf blades are flat or sometimes folded, 15-30 cm long, 4-6 cm wide. Its seeds germinate later in spring than most other temperate zone weeds, such as crabgrasses. Though usually considered an annual, it may survive for more than a year in climates not subject to frost. The plant is clump- forming, branching from the base, culms are 40-95 cm tall.
