Types of Grasses

Singapore has many types of grasses, with my garden itself being populated by around 4 different types of grasses.

Let me list down some of the types of grasses:

Yes. The seedhead is correct for carpet grass. Here is one which I have found on my own lawn.

Axonopus compressus (dwarf) seedhead should look exactly the same as cow grass'.

I obtained most of the scientific names from this website. Check out the 20th Sept 2011 post. Scientific name of pearl grass was obtained from NParks website (click the image source).
