Cynodonteae is a large tribe of grasses in the subfamily Chloridoideae, with over 800 species. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Like most of the subfamily, species in the tribe are adapted to warm, arid climates and use the C4 photosynthetic pathway. Some species, such as Bermuda grass ( Cynodon dactylon) or goosegrass ( Eleusine indica), are widespread weeds, introduced in many countries.
Most of the 94 genera are classified in one of 21 subtribes, but some are still unplaced ( incertae sedis) within the tribe. [1]
