Its spikelets shed in pairs, along with joints of the inflorescence axis. Miscanthus has a central inflorescence axis that is shorter than the branches. Its spikelets shed singly, leaving the persistent inflorescence axis. If you want to see what the dried heads look like, try these searches: Saccharum ravennae spikelets Miscanthus sinensis spikelets...See More3 Wild Plants to ID S.E. MI z5
