Ornamental grass From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eragrostis minor, the little lovegrass or smaller stinkgrass, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae, native to most of the subtropical and warm temperate Old World, and introduced to North America, South America, and Australia.[1][2] Preferring disturbed open places with little competition, and sandy or gravelly soils, it is often found growing on rail embankments, road verges, cracks in sidewalks, and waste areas.[3] Its seeds are edible, but quite small and difficult to harvest and handle, so it is usually regarded as a famine food.[4]
