A suggestion. the bush-like "grass" could be a form of Equisetum (deliniensis). Wink

I have pics, but I'm sorry, don't know how to work with the wiki yet. Confused

Grasses again Wink I've looked at the grasses again and have a thought about the light green one - the whole shape of it reminds of a lily! I can't see any joints on the stem, which grasses have f.e.. But of course grasses is easiest to determine when they bloom and here they don't Wink
Otherwise it could be a Juncaceae or Cyperaceae.

The "cattail" I presume is a form of Typha.

If we follow the naming-style for the Tsogal Cattail, (and why shouldn't we? It's a common way amongst humans to name things due to their resemblance to other things Wink ) I suggest we rename it to "Eder Cattail" since it have been found in Eder Kemo as well, call Grass 1 "Tsogal Stargrass"( no one have reported this grass from another age), Grass 2 "Tsogal Lilygrass", and Grass 3 "Eder Bushgrass" ,of the same reason as above, and Grass 4 "Tsogal Cliffgrass".



This "cliffgrass" haven't the typical signs of a graminaea- f e that leaves form a sheath around the stem. It's much more like an equisetum to me, but looking at it from the ground it looks like a grass-tuft . Naming it Cliffgrass would therefore be logical -se above.

Wink The naming of the grasses in Tsogal have been bothering me, so I was so glad when a fellow explorer spontanously said "That is Carex, both of them" Studying them a bit more , he came out with "Silver Spike Sedge" for that grass with lightgreen leaves, and "Palm Sedge" for that bushy grass. Searching for pics out there gave me these two:



This is Gray's Sedge, Carex grayi - could not find a pic on "Silver Spike Sedge"



This is Palm Sedge, Carex muskingumensis

I think the grasses in Tsogal need proper names instead of numbers now Laughing so what do you think of it?
