Cynodonteae

Cynodonteae is a large tribe of grasses in the subfamily Chloridoideae, with over 800 species.

Like most of the subfamily, species in the tribe are adapted to warm, arid climates and use the C photosynthetic pathway. Some species, such as Bermuda grass ( Cynodon dactylon) or goosegrass ( Eleusine indica), are widespread weeds, introduced in many countries.

Most of the 93 genera are classified in one of 18 subtribes, but some are still unplaced ( incertae sedis) within the tribe.
