Disakisperma dubium is a species of grass known by the common names green sprangletop and zacate gigante. It is native to the Americas, where it is distributed from the United States to Argentina.[1]
This perennial grass grows up to 110 centimeters tall. The leaves are up to 35 centimeters long and are hairless to hairy or rough in texture.[2] The leaf sheaths are sometimes purplish.[3] The inflorescence is a branching panicle with brown or greenish spikelets.[2]
This grass is a good forage for animals and it is sometimes added to seed mixes used for vegetating rangeland.[3]
