Hyperthelia dissoluta, the yellow thatching grass, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae.

It is native to Sub‑Saharan Africa and Madagascar.

It has been introduced to Mexico, Central America, Colombia, and Brazil.

[1] Its palatability to livestock decreases markedly as the plant matures, and it is a very aggressive competitor, so it has developed a bad reputation among ranchers.
