This is Cyrtococcum accrescens. The identifying character is the plano-convex spikelet (One side is flat and other side is convex). Among different species of Cyrtococcum, only C.accrescence has a fully expanded open panicle. All other species have different degrees of constrictions. Another character of this genus is that all the parallel veins arising from the base of the leaf again merge together towards the tip of the leaf. This grass is found in dense shade on forest floor and road sides in forest fringes. Also found in gardens under shade.
