Hyperthelia dissoluta explained

Hyperthelia dissoluta, the yellow thatching grass, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is native to SubSaharan Africa and Madagascar. It has been introduced to Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Brazil.^[1] Its palatability to livestock decreases markedly as the plant matures, and it is a very aggressive competitor, so it has developed a bad reputation among ranchers.^{[2] [3]}
