secundatum (Buffalo Grass) is lawn grass that has sometimes
become naturalised. It is a coarse spreading species. The leaves are
usually in one row on either side of the stem. The leaves are flat,
broad (up to 9 mm wide), with the ligule in the form of a line of
hairs. The inflorescence is a very short, dense panicle small,
awnless spikelets arranged on one side of a broad, flat axis. The
spikes have one fertile floret subtended by a male or sterile
flower. |
