Axonopus compressus
Axonopus compressus (syn. "Axonopus compressus" (Sw.) P.Beauv. var. "australis" G.A.Black, "Milium compressum" Sw., "Paspalum compressum" (Sw.) Nees, "Paspalum platycaule" Willd. ex Steud., "Paspalum platycaulon" Poir.) is a species of grass. It is often used as a permanent pasture, groundcover, and turf in moist, low fertility soils, particularly in shaded situations. It is generally too low-growing to be useful in cut-and-carry systems or for fodder conservation. While not optimal, it is occasionally used for football fields especially those which are not for elite competitions or where only a low level of maintenance can be done. Axonopus
