Golden,

I wasn't sure about the correct English denomination. It is Quecken in
German. I think we probably have all three: crabgrass, Bermuda grass
and Kikuyu grass. The one that has spread most, which I called
crabgrass (but may be Bermuda grass), has extensive whitish rhizomes
underground which will turn brown and woody when old, runners on the
surface, green blades with a bluish taint and, if I have observed
correctly, tiny black seeds. I forgot, the rhizomes have nodes; if one
of these nodes stays in the soil, a new bundle of grass will grow
from it.
