Smooth bromegrass forms rhizomes (underground stems that run parallel to the soil just below the soil surface) and thus spreads and forms a denser turf than many of the other grasses. The best identifying characteristic of this species is the W that is found imprinted at about the center of the leaf blade.
The smooth greensnake (Opheodrys vernalis) is a nonvenomous North American colubrid. It is also referred to as the grass snake. It is a slender, small medium snake that measures 36â51 cm (14â20 in) as an adult. It gets its common name from its smooth dorsal scales, as opposed to the rough green snake, which has keeled dorsal scales.
