There are two plants in my photos I’m curious about. They are growing at water’s edge near a boat ramp in Charleston. I’m guessing the white flower may be Boltonia asteroides, but I can’t ID the grass. Is it a Lovegrass (Eragrostis), a Sweetgrass (Muhlenbergia), or something else?
Thanks for your help,
Virginia
Hi Virginia,
I agree that your white flowered plant is Boltonia asteroides, the grass is certainly a Muhlenbergia but I do not know the species very well. I would go with the habitat in identifying this particular Muhlenbergia. Few are found in wet places.
I hope this helps.
