A genus of grass native to the North American Great Plains, commonly known as buffalo grass or blue grama.
From German 'Buch' (beech) plus the plant suffix '-loe,' though the original etymology is disputed and may refer to the Platte River region.
Buffalo grass is incredibly drought-resistant and was the foundation of the Great Plains ecosystem—it could survive the hooves of millions of bison!
