Wind-grass is a common English vernacular name applied to several different grass species that are typically found in open, windswept habitats and are characterised by their light, airy seed heads that move visibly in the breeze. Because the name is applied to multiple unrelated species across different regions, it functions more as a descriptive category than a precise botanical name. Its use is mainly found in older natural history writing and regional plant guides rather than in modern botanical or horticultural contexts.
