Mella, you inspired me to check a little, found this:
http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=u44iKvNMvOAC&dq=%22seashore+paspalum%22&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=tVq2etdzA9&sig=2Xfh9ZyI0VqngtKCSwHMlgkGcVw#PPA31,M1
just glanciing throught the pages on the web, S. paspalum was used as bedding during the slave trade (pg 21)& some varietals were spread this way! Who woudda known? Still don't know what I have, but it grows tight to the ground until it puffs....usually around established landscape plants...
On that note, we are uncovering a lot of bromiliads, if anyone wants, just email or stop on by!
