Paspalum (Greek, paspalos, an ancient name for millet). Gramlneae. Spikelets 1-fld., plano-convex, mostly rounded, subsessile and overlapping in 2 rows on one side of a narrow or winged axis forming slender racemes. About 150 species in the warmer parts of both hemispheres, but more abundant in Amer., forming an important part of the pampas and campos of S. Amer. P. dilatatum, Poir., of Argentina, a coarse species 3-5 ft. high, is sparingly cult, as a forage grass in the Gulf states and has become naturalized throughout the S. P. compressum, Nees, Carpet-grass, a native. 6 in. to 2 ft. high, with creeping sts. and rather broad lvs. makes a good lawn grass in the Gulf region; it is less difficult to eradicate than Bermuda-grass. P. distichum, Linn. Extensively creeping rather wiry perennial, the erect fl.-culms 6-12 in., bearing a pair of divergent spikes. Occasionally used for lawns in the South. S. U. S. to S. Amer. P. membranaceum, Lam. Slender perennial with few to several spikes, the silvery spikelets arranged on a broad ribbon-like axis, banded with drab and orange. S. Amer. Cult, in Eu. under the name P. elegans; worthy of intro. A. S. Hitchcock.<br />
