Paspalum bifidum
Also called Pitchfork Paspalum
Pitchfork crowngrass (Paspalum bifidum) is a native perennial grass of the southeastern United States, found in pine savannas and sandy woodlands. It is a wild grass valued by wildlife and foragers rather than a common garden ornamental, and it does best in open, sunny spots with dry to moist soil.
