A species of grass (Tripsacum dactyloides), a tall, stout, and exceedingly productive grass cultivated in Mexico, the Southern States, the West Indies, and to some extent in Europe, said to admit of being cut six times in a season. It bears drought remarkably well. T. monostachyon (the Carolina gama-grass) is the only other species known.
