There must be
something 'sweet' and enticing about this grass that is worthy of
the aphids' attention. The inflorescence is crawling with them. The
paired gland-like structures found at the hairy end of the branches
are truly fascinating. I can't wait to get my hands on a more 'powerful'
stereoscope to investigate them further! Intriguing all the more as
I could find no mention of these structures in the agronomic works
that I know. If you think grass is not interesting, think again :
