Zoysia tenuifolia is a type of grass originally thought to be one of the native grass type to the Mascarene Island.[1][2] The epithet tenuifolia is commonly used to describe plant specimens in Mascarene Islands and Zoysia tenuifolia is also called Mascarene grass. Z. tenuifolia is not widely used as a general lawn grass due to its slow growth rate.
