Habitat: The common name for all the East African rhizomatous species of Cynodon is Bermuda grass.Most of these species originated and have remained in southeast Africa. Cynodon dactylon however, has become a "ubiquitous, cosmopolitan weed".
The large intra- specific variability in Cynodon dactylon is represented by four varieties which have remained endemic to their original locale, and by two varieties, most notably Cynodon dactylon var. dactylon (from here on referred to by the species name), which have spread to other countries.
Cynodon dactylon grows throughout the warmer regions of both hemispheres. In the United States it occurs at elevations under 6000 feet, primarily in waste places, agricultural fields, and roadsides.] Although widespread, this species "thrives only under extreme disturbance and does not invade natural grasslands or forest vegetation".
In areas of low rainfall it commonly grows along irrigation ditches and streambeds. Bermuda grass, especially the cultivar Coastal, is extremely drought tolerant, however moisture significantly increases its growth rate.
Plant Description: A variable perennial, creeping by means of stolons and rhizomes, eight to 40 culms, (rarely) to 90 cm high: leaves hairy or glabrous, three to seven spikes (rarely two), usually 3-6 cm long and in one whorl, or in robust forms up to ten spikes, sometimes in two whorls: spikelets 2-3 mm long, rachilla often bearing a reduced floret (Chippendall, 1955).
It differs from Digitaria scalarum (African couch) in the vegetative stage in that there is no obvious membranous ligule where the leaf-blade joins the sheath.
Bermuda grass is an introduced, perennial, mat-forming, warm season grass. It is both rhizomatous and stoloniferous. Erect or ascending culms grow 0.3 to 1.3 feet (0.1-0.4 m) tall. The panicle has two to seven digitate branches .
Rhizomes are hard, scaly, and 0.06 to 0.13 inch (1.5-3.3 mm) in diameter. Stolons are flattened and several feet long, rooting at nodes . Main root length per plant of four cultivars ranged from 2.3 to 37.1 feet (0.7-11.3 m) while total root length ranged from 43 to 4,854 feet (13.0-1,480 m). Root hairs contributed 64 to 95 percent of the total root length .
