Hyparrhenia

Hyparrhenia is a genus of grasses. Many species are known commonly as thatching grass.

They are mostly native to tropical Africa; some can be found in warmer areas in temperate Eurasia, Australia, and Latin America. These are annual and perennial bunch grasses. The inflorescence branches into twin spikes of paired spikelets.
