Toothbrush Grass
Cheryl Dunn, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture research manager, herbarium curator and instructor for PLAS 442 / AGRO 842 Wildland Plants, shows her class how prairie cordgrass, Spartina pectinata, is in the "toothbrush" tribe. This grass has all the spikelets – the typical arrangement of the flowers of grasses – on one side of the rachis – stem of the plant bearing the flower stalks. Students learn to identify more than 200 species of plants from the Great Plains and the tall grass prairie in this course.
