Zoysia (UK: /ˈzɔɪziə/;[3][4] US: /ˈzɔɪsiə/, -/ziə/, -/ʃə/, -/ʒə/[3]) is a genus of creeping grasses widespread across much of Asia and Australia, as well as various islands in the Pacific. These species, commonly called zoysia or zoysiagrass, are found in coastal areas or grasslands.[5] It is a popular choice for fairways and teeing areas at golf courses. The genus is named after the Slovenian botanist Karl von Zois (1756–1799).[6][7]
