African stargrass
Cynodon nlemfuensis
Star grass is a perennial with creeping stems (stolons) which root well. It is grown in areas of 500-1,200 mm rainfall on a wide range of soils, from sands to black clays, provided they have reasonable fertility.
Stargrass is a stoloniferous perennial without rhizomes. The stolons are woody and lie flat on the ground surface. Stems are 30-60 cm high and 1-3 mm at the base. The leaf blade is flat, linear-lanceolate, 5-16 cm long and 2-5 mm wide. One inflorescence has a single whorl of 4 to 9 spikes that are 4-7 cm long each.
