Bouteloua repens
Slender grama (Bouteloua repens) is a low perennial grass of dry, rocky slopes and open ground in the southwestern US, Mexico and parts of the Caribbean and Central America. It is grown mainly for forage and rangeland restoration, and it is very tolerant of drought and grazing.
Bouteloua repens, colloquially known as slender grama, is a grass species in the grama genus native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.
Slender grama prefers dry rocky slopes below 1,500 m (4,900 ft), but will also tolerate most open areas of mixed soil types and can be found up 2,500 m (8,200 ft). It is present in much of Arizona, as well as into Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico. It is also found in the Caribbean, and Central America as far south as Colombia and Venezuela.
