Read about Sporobolus in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Sporobolus (Greek, spora, seed, and ballein, to cast forth, referring to the grain readily falling from the spikelet). Gramineae. Dropseed. Spikelets 1-fld., awnless, usually small, in narrow or open panicles.—About 80 species, chiefly of Temp. and Trop. Amer., of little value. S. cryptandrus, Gray, a widely distributed annual, is considered a good forage grass; S. Wrightianus, Munro, Sacaton, of the alkali lands of the S. W. and of Mex., and S. airoides, Torr., an allied species, furnish pasture in alkali flats. S. minutiflorus, Link, a slender annual with minute spikelets in a delicate panicle, is offered as an ornamental by some seedsmen under the name of Agrostis minutiflora. The species are little known horticulturally. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
