英语词汇zoysia grass的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Zoysia grass. For some odd reason few of the major diction- aries include Zoysia grass, which is commonly planted today, es- pecially for play areas and for lawns in the deep South. The pop- ular grass, generally planted from bits of rootstock called Zoysia plugs, is named for Austrian botanist Karl von Zois. There are only four species of the creeping grass. Zoysia takes a lot of wear and tear, forming a dense, tough turf, but has one major drawback—it turns a haylike color in the late fall and is among the slowest of grasses to green up again in the spring. Some zeal- ous Zoysia lawn keepers give nature a tender, loving hand by painting their grass with green latex and other preparations in the off-seasons. Yet another reason why anyone reincarnated in suburbia wouldn’t do badly if he came back as a lawn.
