The tropical grass species Cenchrus clandestinus (previously Pennisetum clandestinum) is known by several common names, most often kikuyu grass, as it is native to the highland regions of East Africa that is home to the Kikuyu people. Because of its rapid growth and aggressive nature, it is categorised as a noxious weed in some regions. However, it is also a popular garden lawn species in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the southern region of California in the United States, as it is inexpensive and moderately drought-tolerant. In addition, it is useful as pasture for livestock grazing and serves as a food source for many avian species, including the long-tailed widowbird. The flowering culms are very short and "hidden" amongst the leaves, giving this species its specific epithet

- Cenchrus clandestinus (Hochst. ex Chiov.) Morrone, 2010 è una specie di erba tropicale della famiglia delle Poaceae (o Graminacee). È conosciuta comunemente con il nome di erba kikuyu, poiché è originaria delle regioni montuose dell'Africa orientale che ospitano il popolo Kikuyu. A causa della sua rapida crescita e della sua natura aggressiva, in alcune regioni è classificata come pianta infestante. Tuttavia, in Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Sud Africa e nella regione meridionale della California, viene utilizzata anche come erba da prato, poiché è poco costosa e moderatamente resistente alla siccità. Inoltre, è utile come foraggio per il pascolo del bestiame e funge da fonte di cibo per molte specie aviarie, tra cui la vedova codalunga. I culmi fioriti sono molto corti e "nascosti" tra le fog (it)
