Another member of the Grass Family (Poaceae) that is easy to identify is foxtail barley (Hordeum jubatum). It's native to North America and eastern Siberia, but it acts like a weed, growing frequently in disturbed areas. The perennial herb is a monocot and can tolerate saline soils.
As the summer progresses, the grass will bend over more and appear flimsier.For more info about foxtail barley, click here.

Not shot. Must be in the same family as wheat.
I have not entered into the grass identification arena, but as I am out and about these days, I am becoming more aware.
