Big galleta

Pleuraphis rigida

Formerly Hilaria rigida. Warm season, strongly rhizomatous, perennial grows in large shrub-like clumps. Best on sandy or gravelly soils; poor on clays. More drought tolerant than other Pleuraphis species. Greens-up quickly after spring rains and again in the fall when moisture is available. Found across large expanses of dunes in the Sonoran and Mohave Desert communities. Good reclamation species.
