Galleta  Pleuraphis jamesii 
Found from Texas and Oklahoma westward toward California, this tough and drought 
resistant perennial warm season grass is typically found in heavy clay or loam soils, 
sometimes alone or in mixed stands with Black Grama. Overgrazing has taken much of this 
highly palatable grass throughout its native range. An excellent choice for erosion control or 
creating more diverse and sustainable grasses in dry, western rangeland ecosystems.

Green Sprangletop  Leptochloa dubia	
	
	
	
The spreading, “sprangled” appearance of the seedhead gives this grass its common name. 
Mix with other natives as a “nurse grass” — comes up quickly in the spring and is easy to 
grow, but fades after 2-3 years as other native grasses get established. Reproduces by seeds 
and roots. Performs as short-term nurse grass in a variety of soils and grows permanently on 
rocky hills and canyons in sandy soils of the Trans-Pecos area of Texas.
