buffalo grass

It was a miniature paradise in the midst of a desert of sage-brush and buffalo-grass.

Our road was generally over level uplands bordering the river, which were closely covered with a sward of buffalo-grass.

Gallup looked dolefully at the horses, which were feeding on the buffalo-grass of the valley.

This is the "grama" or "buffalo-grass," and, despite its look of utter desiccation, is highly nutritious.
