Paspalum
Paspalum is a genus of the grass family. Commonly known as paspalums, bahiagrasses, or dallis grasses, most are tall perennial New World grasses. They are warm-season C4 grasses and are most diverse in subtropical and tropical regions. P. scrobiculatum is a millet grown as food grain. Some species, such as bahiagrass and P. nicorae, are grown for pasturage, especially with the perennial forage peanut as a companion crop. Bahiagrass has also some significance as a honey plant. Water finger-grass resembles bermudagrass, but has a higher salinity tolerance and can consume greywater. It is sometimes used for arena and golf course turf in warmer coastal regions, such as Baja California, Florida, Peru, Texas and Venezuela. Dedicated paspalum cultivars such as 'Aloha Seashore' or 'Platinum TE' have been produced for such uses. Paspalums are also food for caterpillars of lepidopterans such as the Pasture Day Moth, and those of the Dark Palm Dart which feed on P. urvillei. Granivorous birds often eat paspalum seeds; the Chestnut-breasted Munia readily feeds on the seeds of P. longifolium, for example.
