OK. I will leave as an unidentified grass for now. If you ever revisit the plant and make a confident assessment I will be happy to defer to your judgement. If Cymbopogon you can crush and smell a leaf (should smell like lemongrass).

Tapirlord not yet flowering. There are certainly C. microcephalum occurring at the site which I saw in flower in the past years as well as Glycine tabacina. Could Cullen form hybrids? What do you mean by... "They look a little weird"?

Suggested as Silver Carraway Oroemyrrhis argentea by me but I added another pic of the plant (not a good move) and somehow caused the system to change my suggestion to Leptinella funicula.
