Phalaris minor
Also called Lesser Canary-grass, Mediterranean Canary Grass, Annual Canary Grass, Bristle Spike Canary Grass, Lesser Canarygrass, Little Seed Canarygrass, Little Seed Canary Grass
Phalaris minor is a species of grass native to North Africa, Europe, and South Asia. The bunchgrass is widely naturalised elsewhere.
Common names include little seed canary grass, small-seeded canary grass, small canary grass, lesser-canary grass, guli danda (Hindi), and sittee booti (Urdu).
It is used as a fodder or forage for livestock and birdseed, but is poisonous to some mammals, and is a potential contaminant of seed crops.
