Gramilla can be used as a synonym for grass.
The Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) recognizes several meanings of grass . In fact, the academy indicates two possible origins of the concept that are associated with the different meanings.
On the one hand, gramar can come from gramar : giving a second coat to the bread after kneading. The term is also linked to agramar , which refers to the action of crushing flax or hemp with the aim of separating the fiber from the stem.
The idea of grass, in this framework, refers to a board with a foot. This element is used to locate the bundles of hemp or flax that will be bundled.
Grass as grass
We stated above that grass can have different origins. We already made reference to gramar; Now we will focus on gramilla as the diminutive of grama .
A particular plant from the grass family group is called grass. In some countries, however, the notion refers to grass .
Thus, in several nations grass is used as a synonym for grass. It is the small and very dense grass that usually covers the surface .
It can be said that grass or grass is formed with different species of grasses . These plants, as they grow, create a green cover on the ground. It is common for grass to function as an ornamental plant or to serve as terrain for the development of sports and recreational activities .
The grass (Cynodon dactylon) is often considered a weed.
Naming of various plants
The name grass falls on different plant species . The one with the scientific name Elytrichia repens , to mention one case, is called grass, grama or gramia .
The Digitaria sanguinalis , meanwhile, is mentioned as grass, crabgrass , patagallina , guard dew or mijeras . Brachypodium distachyon can be found as donkey grass or spikelet .
You can also find plants called white grass . This is how Paspalum vaginatum (also called sea grass or water grass ) and Cynodon dactylon ( gramón , agramón or crow's foot ) are designated.
The grass, a weed
It is important to note that the species Cynodon dactylon is considered a weed . This plant is invasive and tends to colonize all the surface it has at its disposal.
The expansion of grass is linked to its characteristics. The stolons of the grass spread easily, taking root at each of its nodes. In this way you are able to move forward very quickly.
