English translation:Panicum racemosum or 'panicgrass'
Explanation:
There doesn't seem to be a common name for this specific grass in English.
You could use the scientific name, or use the common name applied to the entire family: Panic grass.

In the link below, the authors refer to panicum racemosum as a "dune building grass", which is another option, perhaps.

agree  Charles Davis: I can't find an English common name either. I think maybe put the Spanish common name, followed by the scientific name in parentheses, and then perhaps "a species of panicgrass". I think "dune-building grass" is a description, not a name.
