  1. cenchrus ciliaris

    Cenchrus ciliaris, commonly known as buffelgrass, is a perennial grass species native to Africa, Asia and the Middle East. It is characterized by its tufted habit, long spiny seed heads, and its ability to withstand arid conditions. This species is often used for grazing due to its high nutritional content, and as a means of controlling soil erosion. However, it can become invasive in certain conditions, spreading quickly and displacing native vegetation.
