Large Crab-grass. Finger Grass. Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. (Panicum 

 sanguinale L. Syntherisma sanguinalis (L.) Nash.) A spreading annual, often of a 

 reddish hue, smooth or hairy, 30-60 cm. or more high, each stem bearing near the 

 apex 4-15, one-sided spreading spikes, the stems usually sending out numerous tough 

 roots at the joints. Common in gardens and often found in thin lawns and pastures. 

 Introduced from Europe. If grass land is made rich, the better grasses and clovers will 

 crowd this plant out or nearly so.
