Paspalum vaginatum                                                                     

A warm-season perennial grass that produces rhizomes and spreads rapidly by stolons.  It is highly salt tolerant, tolerant to wet soils, and prolonged cloudy conditions. It is best adapted in coastal areas of the tropics and sub-tropics around the world and is most often used as a grass for golf courses in areas impacted by salt or where irrigation with brackish water is necessary.  Its use as a grass for sports turf is growing.
