Echinopogon (Poaceae) 4b:275    
Echinopogon ovatus (Hedgehog Grass) is a common annual weed that grows in a range of more-or-less open lowland habitats. The distinctive feature of this grass is the inflorescence, which is a dense ovoid panicle with protruding awns resulting in the relatively soft hedgehog-like appearance. The spikelets have a single flower.
