Chloris cucullata is a species of grass known by the common name hooded windmill grass. It is native to the United States, particularly the states of Texas and New Mexico, and adjacent Mexico.Chloris cucullata. Grass Manual Treatment. This is a clump-forming perennial grass with erect stems up to 60 centimeters tall. The leaf blades are up to 20 centimeters long, the longer ones located around the base. The panicle contains whorls of spikelets, each whorl with several branches up to 5 centimeters long. The branches are purplish, drying brown.Chloris cucullata. USDA NRCS Plant Fact Sheet.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Chloris cucullata has left across the world's sequence archives.

The complete instruction manualChloris cucullata carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

09Environmental DNA2 detections
Where the DNA of Chloris cucullata was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?
DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.
How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
