<strong>Cogongrass</strong> - Plant Base Comparison<br />

Plant Base<br />

- No apparent stem<br />

- Leaves appear <strong>to</strong> arise directly from<br />

or close <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> ground<br />

- Overlapping sheaths give a rounded<br />

appearance <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> plant base<br />

- All vegetation doesn’t arise from one<br />

dense clump, instead <strong>the</strong> plants are<br />

more spread out<br />

- Light-green <strong>to</strong> yellowish in color, or<br />

could be reddish<br />

- Often a lot <strong>of</strong> thatch around base<br />
