}}Loudetia simplex is a grass species found in tropical and Southern Africa and Madagascar.[4] It was originally described as a Tristachya species by Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck in 1841[5]{{rp|269}} and was transferred to Loudetia by Charles Edward Hubbard in 1934.[1]

The species is a perennial bunch grass, with culms erect and {{convert|30–150|cm|inch|abbr=on}} long. Leaves are mostly basal, with flat, convolute blades {{convert|10–30|cm|inch|abbr=on}} long and 2–5 mm wide. The inflorescence is a {{convert|10–30|cm|inch|abbr=on}} long panicle of spikelets, each containing one sterile and one fertile flower. The lemma carries a 25–50 mm long awn.

Like all Loudetia species, L. simplex uses C4 photosynthesis and occurs in open habitats, often on poor shallow soils. It is a significant weed species.[8]

Two subspecies have been described:[1]

  • Loudetia simplex subsp. simplex
  • Loudetia simplex subsp. stipoides

In Madagascar, it is one of the dominant grassland species in the central high plateaus,[10] where it occurs on leached, poorly drained soils and is quite fire-resistant. In Malagasy, it is known locally as horona, horo, berambo, kilailay, kirodrotra, or felika. It has only medium value as pasture grass.[11]
