text:  Guinea grass is a non-native invasive grass in Hawaii. It forms dense stands that outcompete native plants and greatly increases fire potential, spread, and severity. Beard grass is a grass that can grow up to six feet in dense clumps. Each plant produces millions of seeds, and dry grass promotes fires and quickly regrows after wildfires. It is drought tolerant, yet it is able to flourish in wetter areas such as Kauai.
