Could someone inform me if this is worthy Phalaris in this swamp? (W/ pics)

[MagicGing]

Here it is. It looks like the pics i guess, and its growing in abundance orgainically in a swamp

Any help would be much appreciated

it wont hurt to cut some up and try extracting it

extracting unidentified plants really don't help with much of anything.

if you don't know what alkaloids the plant has, why extract the alkaloids?


the pic looks similar to phalaris, but the trichomes are too elongated, and the transition from the leaf sheath to the leaf blade doesn't look like any phalaris i have ever seen.

i would bet that it is not phalaris.

it sure won't hurt, but do not try to smoke extracted stuff from random plants, as you are asking for trouble. Better wait for an ID before harvesting and extracting.

Its in North carolina, if it helps

DMT plants grow just about everywhere from my understanding!

Also I thought Phalaris was taller usually? (Canary Reed Grass right?) So unless this is an immature one, it might be right type but until they are mature I thought yield was reduced, on top of fact canary reed grass has one of the the lowest concentrations of DMT

Ill take your word. I was reallllly hoping it was though...

I am 100% that those plants are not phalaris A. they look like Phragmites.


The ligules are what you want to look for to identify phal. A. google it

 

[MagicGing]

What about this phalaris looking plant?

 

[Jorkest]

that looks more like phalaris

 

[Ambivalent]

that looks more like phalaris

but definitely not arundinacea..maybe some other subspc.

my educated guess is that is not phalaris at all. judging by the structure of the flowers. this plant has more dense flowers, like Phragmites A. but not as hairy as those.
