Description

Comparison of Stipellula capensis (labeled SC in the first pix) with Bromus rubens (BR). B. rubens has much shorter awns. S. capensis is distinctive even as a small plant, more slender and elongated.

These plants were among the 60 Stipa capensis removed from the same area that we weeded exactly a week ago. We were astounded at how quickly those plants had grown. We definitely would have seen most of these 60 plants a week ago if they were anything near the size they were on this trip.

We knew, from weeding out very small plants a week ago, that there would be more plants visible a week later. But we were shocked at how many there were. Given how much space these plants took up in my bag, I have revised my estimate of how many plants we weeded out last time, from ~300 to "500 to 1,000 plants". It could in fact have been more. These 60 plants had to be only a small fraction of what we weeded out last time, way less than 10%.
