A genus of North American grasses, named after a botanical family, including important rangeland and pasture grasses.
Likely named after the Boutelou family of Spanish botanists and horticulturists, using Latinate binomial nomenclature.
Bouteloua grasses have shaped the ecology of American Great Plains for millennia—they're so hardy they can survive droughts that kill other plants, which is why buffalo herds followed them across the continent.
