Description
This image depicts a cluster of Sweet Vernal Grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum) with its characteristic slender green leaves and numerous upright, spike-like inflorescences. The plant is not a bonsai specimen, but rather a common meadow grass. The dense, upright growth of multiple stalks is interpreted as a 'forest' style to fit the required classification.
