notes This non-native grass has escaped many coastal parks and now occurs sporadically in wild locations along Southern California beaches. See http://plantanswers.tamu.edu/turf/publications/bermuda.html for more images and info: 'Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is a major turf species for sports fields, lawns, parks, golf courses, and general utility turfs in Australia, Africa, India, South America and the Southern region of the United States. It is found in over 100 counties throughout the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Common bermudagrass, C. dactylon, naturalized throughout the warmer regions of the United States, was introduced into this country during the colonial period from Africa or India. The earliest introductions are not recorded, but bermudagrass is listed as one of the principal grasses in the Southern States in Mease's Geological Account of the United States published in 1807.'camera Nikon
