grama
Western pasture plant
Grama is a type of grass native to the plains and prairies of North and South America, valued as forage for grazing livestock.
Blue grama and sideoats grama are among the most common varieties, known for their drought tolerance and ability to thrive in arid conditions.
The word comes from Spanish, where it means grass.
The ranch was covered in native grama and buffalo grass.
