Dear Frederick,


I may also suggest to have a look at Paspalum distichum and P. vaginatum (seashore paspalum). You should not have problems on getting some articles on these species, often used because of their adaptability to mowing and life on lawns.

Taxacomers,

I'm writing an article for our local newspaper about the way low-growing
patches of Lotus corniculatus, Bird's-foot Trefoil, are spreading across
lawns in eastern Ontario. I've asked a botanists group, and have googled
around, but can't find any published research on this.

Does anyone know of work done on plant species (other than Dandelions)
evolving low growth forms adapted to life on lawns?

fred.
