Pennisetum setaceum AGM & P. setaceum 'Rubrum' AGM (red fountain grass, African fountain grass, fountain grass, purple fountain grass, ruby grass) - & several other cultivars [6] Pennisetum villosum AGM (feathertop) [6] Stipa gigantea AGM (golden oats) [6] Stipa tenuissima syn.

Many Pennisetum grasses are noxious weeds, including feathertop grass (P. villosum) and kikuyu grass (P. clandestinum), which is also a popular and hardy turf grass in some parts of the world. The herbage and seeds of these grasses are food for herbivores , such as the chestnut-breasted mannikin ( Lonchura castaneothorax ), the caterpillar of ...
Cenchrus purpureus, synonym Pennisetum purpureum, [1] also known as Napier grass, elephant grass or Uganda grass, is a species of perennial tropical grass native to African grasslands. [2] It has low water and nutrient requirements, and therefore can make use of otherwise uncultivated lands.
The plant is a warm season ornamental grass which typically grows in graceful, spreading clumps from 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) tall and wide. It features narrow, medium to deep green leaves (to 1/2" wide) in summer, changing to golden yellow in fall, and fading to beige in late fall. The foliage usually remains attractive throughout the winter.
Tridens flavus, known as purpletop, purpletop tridens, tall redtop, greasy grass, and grease grass, [1] [2] [3] is a large, robust perennial bunchgrass. The seeds are purple, giving the grass its common name. The seeds are also oily, leading to its other common name, "grease grass". It reproduces by seed and tillers.
The expanses of grass in North America and Eurasia once sustained migrations of large vertebrates such as bison , saiga (Saiga tatarica), and Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsoni) and kiang (Equus hemionus). Such phenomena now occur only in isolated pockets, primarily in the Daurian Steppe and Tibetan Plateau. [1] [2]
This is a perennial bunchgrass, growing erect to under a meter-3 feet in height, and the flower glumes often assumes a light brown to reddish-purple color. There are several varieties with overlapping geographical ranges. This is not considered to be a good graze for livestock because the awns are sharp and the protein content of the grass is low.
