A genus of tropical American grasses, particularly Paspalum dilatatum, used for pasture and grazing, named after a botanist.
Named botanically after a person (likely a naturalist named Dallis), following Linnaean nomenclature conventions. The scientific name preserves the honor of early plant collectors.
There's a grass named 'dallis' that feeds cattle across the Americas, and almost nobody knows it—scientists quietly honor their colleagues by naming plants after them. You could have a species named after you!
