Genus of 5 warm season, creeping grasses, used for lawn turf. Grow from both runners and rhizomes. Sharply pointed stiff leaves are rounded to a little flattened, and may have hairs by the base.  Leaf margins are smooth and surface can bee fine to coarse in its texture. Short stalks produces little sheathed spikes or spikelets with just one flower on it.
