Oplismenus burmannii (commonly known as Burmann's basketgrass) is a flowering plant that can be found in Florida and on Hawaii, [1] but is native to Zimbabwe. [2]
The plant's leaves are 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long and 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) wide and are undulate as well. Its glumes are of pinkish-red colour and are much longer than the spikelet. Its inflorescence is 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) [2] and consists of a small number of short racemes, which have spikelets on them, which are attached to the central axis. [3]
It is found at elevations of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft). [2]
