Windmill grass (Chloris truncata) is a type of grass that is commonly found in dry areas, especially in North and South America. The grass is characterized by its spike-like inflorescence and its twisting or curving leaves, which resemble the blades of a windmill. However, windmill grass is also referred to by a number of other names depending on the region and language. For instance, some common synonyms include wiregrass, bulldog grass, tern grass, and moho. In addition, it may also be called trichloris or C. virgata depending on its classification. Whether referred to by its official name or a local synonym, windmill grass remains an important plant in many ecosystems and is used for grazing, erosion control, and even as a lawn ornamental in some areas.
