| Abstract/Contents: | "Silt grass occurs naturally on muddy seacoasts, in tidal marshes and brackish sandy regions of both hemispheres from Baja California, North Carolina and southern Spain southward. Erect or prostrate in habit, it has a tough, creeping rootstock and forms dense mats. It has been successfully domesticated in Australia, southern Florida and the West Indies and has been introduced into cultivation in Venezuela. Easy to propagate and fast-growing, it makes excellent turf and is an ideal lawn grass for subtropical and tropical areas where irrigation water has a salt content unfavorable for better-known grasses. In coastal pastures, it provides nourishing fodder. The dried grass is employed as a tropical American folk remedy." |
