Sacciolepis is a genus of plants in the grass family.[2][3] Cupscale grass is a common name for plants in this genus.[4]
They are widespread in tropical and warmer temperate regions. Many are native to Africa, with others in Asia, Australia, and the Americas.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
These species are annual or perennial and may have rhizomes or stolons. The inflorescence is usually a narrow, dense panicle. They generally grow in moist habitat, such as marshes and streambanks.[7] Sacciolepis is closely related to genus Panicum.[5][6]
