Sticky Bristle Grass /Velcro Grass

tufted annual grass which starts off as a stand of bright green erect tufts but matures into a tangled mat due to the barbed bristles of the inflorescence. In fact these seed heads entangle and strongly hold all manner of things that come into contact with it even large insects, hence the local name velcro grass
