Urochloa plantaginea
[Brachiaria plantaginea]
creeping signal grass

Non-Native in Florida

Creeping signal grass is native to Central and South America. It is now occasionally found in disturbed sites of most of Florida (Wunderlin, 1998). It flowers in summer through fall.

This is one of about 20 species of Urochloa found in North America. About half of them are not native to this part of the world. Creeping signal grass is found in the extreme southeast U.S., plus PA, HI and Puerto Rico (Kartesz, 1999).
