Slim Tridens
Grass Family : ( Poaceae : Eragrosteae )
Latin Name : Tridens muticus
Longevity : Perennial
Season : Warm
Origin : Native
Value : Wildlife – poor
Livestock – poor to fair
Remarks :
This grass can make up 10 to 15 percent of the
total production on some sites, it is seldom
considered a key management species because
associated grasses on the site are more palatable.
Similar to white tridens; the nodes are hairy on
slim tridens; white tridens are smooth. The
abundance of this grass indicates fair to poor
range condition. Adapted to dry, rocky hillsides
and sloping calcareous soils.
