Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Centropodia glauca, also known as ghagras or ikagras[1][2] is a species of grass native to Botswana, Namibia, South Africa (Cape Provinces and Northern Provinces), and Kenya.[3] The occurrence of this grass is proof of well-preserved sandveld. The grass is very hardy and can thrive in dry veld. It is a perennial pole grass that usually grows between 200–850mm but can grow up to 1m tall. The flowering period is between September and May.[4] Because ghagras have few leaves and the stalks are almost always green, it is resistant to fire.[5]

It grows mainly in deep sandy soil, particularly in duneveld; also grows in gravelly soil.[6] It is eaten by game, especially oryx.

It was first described by Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck, and given its current name by Thomas Arthur Cope.[7]
