Polypogon monspeliensis, commonly known as annual beard-grass[1] or annual rabbitsfoot grass,[2] is a species of grass.

It is native to the Old World, but it can be found today throughout the world as an introduced species and sometimes a noxious weed.

It is an annual grass growing to heights between 5 centimeters and one meter.

The soft, fluffy inflorescence is a dense, greenish, plumelike panicle, sometimes divided into lobes.

The spikelets have long, thin, whitish awns, which give the inflorescence its texture.
