Buchloe

/ˈbʊkloʊi/ noun

Definition

A genus of grass native to the North American Great Plains, commonly known as buffalo grass or blue grama.

Etymology

From German 'Buch' (beech) plus the plant suffix '-loe,' though the original etymology is disputed and may refer to the Platte River region.

Kelly Says

Buffalo grass is incredibly drought-resistant and was the foundation of the Great Plains ecosystem—it could survive the hooves of millions of bison!
