Cultivated in Ceylon under the name “‘ Buffalo Grass ’’ and perhaps 
also wild. If it is conspecific with S. palmifolia, S. sulcata is an older 
name.

Native country unknown. 
Hooker (in Trim. Fl. Ceyl. V, p. 15) states that this is a native of 
Tropical America, but Hitchcock (Contr. U.S. Nat. Herb. XXII, 
p- 159) says ‘‘ A weed in cultivated ground and waste places from 
the West Indies to Brazil; introduced from Tropical Asia.’’ Lamarck’s 
type was from Mauritius, and Roxburgh (FI. Ind., ed. Carey I, p. 314, 
under P. costatum) says: ‘‘ Introduced into the Botanic Gardens from 
Mauritius, by Captain Tennant, in 1802,’’ but Baker (FI. Maurit. 
PP. 435, 436) refers P. barbatum to P. prostratum Lamk. and P. 
costatum to P. plicatum Lamk.

As type, but perennial; infl. shorter; sete shorter. 
This is the common: plant. I have only seen S. glauca proper as 
a weed among Paspalum scrobiculatum. Over go per cent. of some 
seed sown as Amu at the Agricultural School at Peradeniya turned 
out to be Kavalu, which is sometimes used as a substitute for Amu, 
but not, I think, intentionally cultivated.
