Irisleaf Yelloweyed Grass (Xyris laxifolia var. iridifolia)

When collecting the seed head of Yelloweyed Grass, students note that if you tap it, its tiny seeds fly into the wind. Students also note that if you turn it upside down, the seeds fall out. Students are using their observations to develop their seed collecting techniques in the field.
