Gha Grass

Centropodia glauca, also known as Ghagras or Ikagras is a species of grass endemic to Namibia, South Africa, Kenya and Botswana. 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 can grow up to 1m tall. Because ghagras have few leaves and the stalks are almost always green, it is resistant to fire.
