Description ²

There is one known specimen of bullgrass in the preserve, located in a canyon above Brown's Ranch. It is possible that bullgrass is located elsewhere in the preserve, thus its inclusion here. The photos show the plant long after flowering and fruiting, but if you select the SEINet link below there is more detailed information, and better photos. The plant is over 1 meter tall, with leaves to 50 cm long; leaves can be flat or folded, 2 to 6 mm across. Flowering and fruiting heads are dense with some reddish color. Short, fine awns on the seeds give the inflorescence a feathery appearance.
