Buffalograss

Buffalograss is an indigenous, warm-season, stoloniferous perennial that reaches heights of 4 to 6 inches. The length and width of the leaf blade are 3 to 6 inches. A row of short hairs forms the ligule. It is a dioecious plant. The seed head is supported by a spike on both sexes. The male blooms have two or three small spikes on slender, upright stems, while the female flowers are burs partially concealed amid the leaves (Leithead et al., 1971).
