Definition
A genus of grasses that includes Bermuda grass and other drought-resistant species widely used for lawns and pastures.
Etymology
From Greek 'kyon' (dog) plus 'odon' (tooth), literally 'dog's tooth,' referring to the grass's tooth-like flowering parts. Named scientifically in the 19th century.
Kelly Says
The grass in your lawn or a golf course might be Cynodon—ancient people probably noticed the spike-like seed heads resembled dog teeth, and that name stuck through modern botany!
