Brown Tailgrass

Grass type: Biennial (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This giant, brown grass grows up to 17 feet (5.2 meters) tall. The very narrow and elongated stalks grow in large clumps that are delicate and they spread and grow quickly.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, lilac tail.

During the late autumn, it produces excessive amounts of pollen, and after flowering, it is left with plenty of small grains.

The sap causes severe rashes
It is suitable for making paper
It is excellent at collecting and storing carbon dioxide
