Ring Muhly—A Grass That Grows in Circles
Van Andel Creation Research Center Report Number 4
George F. Howe, Emmett L. Williams, and John R. Meyer
There is a grass that grows in ring-like patterns at the Van Andel Creation Research Center (VACRC), Chino Valley, Arizona. We discuss some aspects of the morphology, growth habits, and possible ecological benefits of Muhlenbergia torreyi which is also known as the “ring muhly.” A study of its growth rate and growth pattern is being initiated at VACRC. We recommend ring muhly as a subject of future investigations by other creationists. In this paper we also comment on the origin of grasses and their significance in the creation model.
