Floating this ID as a text. Not listed as an introduced species in Texas yet but seems to fit the key that found for California

Bothriochloa hybridaObserver
kypfer_kyropteraDescription
I pulled this grass up thinking it was Dichanthium sericeum (silky bluestem) but noticed that it lacked the rings of white hairs around the nodes and the inflorescence looked more like a contracted panicle than a panicle of digitate spicate branches. The awns are distinctly bent. Is it really Bothriochloa barbinodis are is it just wishful thinking?
