Its not D rara as the lemma is longer than both glumes - shorter or subequal to lower glume in rara
Bare nodes, long lemma and unequal glumes suggest D inaequiglumis

OK thanks, Grassman. Confirms Marg Ning's suggestion. Is a confirmation then?

Not sure of rules. I think a second moderator needs to confirm it.

@Grassman there are no rules. If you are confident with ID then, as a moderator, you are free to confirm your identification. Having two moderators contribute to an ID is great, but not essential. If at any point you feel you might have made an incorrect ID you can change it and ideally leave a comment with your reasoning. Similarly, if you see other IDs you feel are incorrect then you may do so.
