Cenchrus ciliaris is a species (In the life sciences, the species (from the Latin species, “type”…) of the family Poaceae (Graminae). It lives in most of Africa (From a area of ​​30,221,532 km2 including the islands,…), the south (The south is a cardinal point, opposite the north.) of Asia (Asia is one of the five continents or part of the supercontinents Eurasia or Afro-Eurasia of…) (east of India), south of Iran, and the extreme south of Europe (Europe is a land region that can be considered as a…) (Sicily). It is sometimes called “Cenchrus ciliate”.
It is a perennial grass that exceeds 50 cm in height in Australia (Australia (officially Commonwealth of Australia) is a country of…) and can reach 1.5 m for the largest cultivated varieties. The leaves are linear, 3 to 25 cm long and 4 to 10 mm wide. The flowers are grouped in panicles 2 to 14 cm long and 1 to 2.6 cm wide.
Invasive species
Cenchrus ciliaris has often been naturalized and often become an invasive species in Australia, the southwest of the United States, in Hawaii, Mexico, Central America (Central America is the part of the American continent located between…), America (America is a continent separated, to the west, from Asia and. ..) of the South and in Macaronesia (Macaronesia is an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean made up of the archipelagos of…). .) from Sonora, it was introduced to combat erosion. In the Mexican part of this desert it is still cultivated and irrigated for livestock grazing. It spreads very quickly and often kills local plants such as Parkinsonia aculeata by depriving it of water. This plant catches fire very easily, even during the growth period. Its rapid flammability and rapid regrowth allow it to successfully compete with almost all vegetation in this region.
