Stenotaphrum (Greek, stenos, narrow, and taphros, a trench, the spikelets being partially embedded in the rachis). Gramineae. Creeping grasses with compressed culms, flat divergent blades and narrow flat spikes: spikelets as in Panicum, imbedded in the surface of a broad rachis forming terminal spikes. — About 3 species of tropical regions, one species found along the Gulf coast, especially in Fla., where it is utilized as a lawn grass. In this respect it is similar to Bermuda-grass, being naturally adapted to a sandy soil, which it binds by its rhizomes and creeping habit as does that grass.
