I believe this is a Cryptochloa species, but could certainly be wrong. The Olyreae are grasses in subfamily Bambusoideae. Â When you come across these smaller pretty species it is hard not to stop and admire them. This particular species was growing on a clay bank with a decent amount of leaf-litter covering it. They seem to prefer the edges of forest where there is more light, but still a lot of protection from the sun.
