[3][4][5] Plants are monoecious, stoloniferous, and either annual or perennial depending on the species.

The culms (stems) are ascending or low and mat forming, glabrous, and circular in cross-section.

[6][7][8] Four species of Tragus have been introduced to North America: T. australianus, T. berteronianus, T. heptaneuron, and T.

They prevent erosion, but make for poor grazing and in larger numbers indicate overgrazing.

[11] several species now regarded as better suited to other genera: Brachypodium Bromus Festuca Leptothrium Lolium Pseudechinolaena Media related to Tragus at Wikimedia Commons Data related to Tragus at Wikispecies
