Eragrostis pilosa is a species of grass. It is native to Eurasia and Africa. It may or may not be native to North America. It is widely introduced, and it is a common weed in many areas.[+]
Eragrostis pilosa, also known as soft lovegrass, is an annual grass native to tropical and subtropical regions. In Qatar, it has been found to grow in a variety of habitats, including sandy dunes, rocky outcrops, and disturbed areas. It is a relatively small grass, typically growing up to 30-60 cm tall, with delicate, hair-like leaves and purple-tinged flowers. Studies have shown that Eragrostis pilosa is widely distributed in Qatar, particularly in the northern and central regions of the country, where it can be found growing alongside other desert vegetation. Its ability to thrive in poor soil conditions makes it a common sight in Qatar's arid landscape.

Doha, Qatar, March 23, 2016Al Jamiaa St, Doha, QatarObservations of Eragrostis pilosa in Qatar reveal that the plant can be found in urban areas, such as parks. On December 3, 2015, it was spotted at Al Intisar Street near Onaiza, where its appearance was documented on various backgrounds. The spikelets of the plant were also examined, providing a closer look at its structure. Later, on March 23, 2016, the plant was observed near a water sprinkler in a park at Qatar University, suggesting that it can thrive in areas with access to irrigation. The plant's presence in these locations indicates its ability to adapt to different environments and tolerate a range of conditions. Its growth in parks and urban spaces highlights its potential as a hardy and versatile species. The observations provide insight into the plant's morphology and ecological preferences.
