Hai ! a. P1230567 is Pennisetum sp., probably P.pedicellatum, but since the photo is of a drenched inflorescence, I cannot confirm. Only other possibility is P.polystachyon. Kindly pluck out one spkilelet, open up the bristles to reveal the usually three florets inside and take a photograph.
b.P1230652 and P1230653 is Chloris barbata. c. Regarding P1230504, it is a deformed panicle. Kindly send a photograph of a full panicle and a close up of the spikelet. Regards...
