Re: Oliver's Lawn Substitutes

`St. Augustine is a versatile, sod forming, warm season turfgrass 
that is native to the West Indies.  It has been widely distributed 
and is most frequently found in Mexico, Africa, Australia, the 
southern portions of the U.S. and the Mediterranean areas.'

Hugo,

    I looked through several of my reference books but none of them 
mentioned the genesis of the name for St. Augustinegrass
{ Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze}.
