Comb windmill grass

<em>Chloris pectinata</em>, the comb windmill grass, is a grass in the family Poaceae with a distribution across Asia, Europe, and North America. It grows in disturbed and open habitats including roadsides, waste ground, dry grasslands, and agricultural margins, reflecting adaptability to degraded and human-modified environments. The genus <em>Chloris</em> is recognized by its distinctive windmill-like arrangement of spreading finger-like branches bearing one-sided rows of spikelets, which give the species an ornamental quality. The species epithet pectinata refers to the comb-like appearance of the inflorescence. <em>C. pectinata</em> is an annual or short-lived perennial grass that reproduces primarily by seed. It is adapted to dry, warm climates and tolerates poor soils. In some regions, it is considered a ruderal weed, while in others it may serve as a minor forage grass. Specific biological metric data are not available in the current record.
