Cynodon plectostachyus, the giant star grass, is a species of grass (family Poaceae). It is native to Chad, Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania, and has been introduced as a livestock forage to California and Florida in the United States, Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Paraguay, Argentina, Nepal, and Bangladesh.[1][2] An aggressive competitor, it is now the most widespread grass in the New World Tropics.[2] It is typically paired in a silvopastoral system with Leucaena leucocephala.[3]
