Poverty Oat Grass
Danthonia spicata (L.) P. Beauv.
The most common grass of blueberry fields that is adapted to dry, low fertility sites. It forms a dense tussock of flat, sharply pointed leaves that may curl, (particularly the older, dead leaves). Ligules have downward-turned hairs. It has a small cereal-like seed head and spikelets have two florets with awns.
