Some species, such as Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) or goosegrass (Eleusine indica), are widespread weeds, introduced in many countries. Most of the 94 genera are classified in one of 21 subtribes, but some are still unplaced (incertae sedis) within the tribe. [1]

With the exception of some species in Ellisochloa and Eleusine indica, most of the subfamily's species use the C 4 photosynthetic pathway [citation needed]. The first evolutionary transition from C 3 to C 4 photosynthesis in the grasses probably occurred in this subfamily, around 32 to 25 million years ago in the Oligocene. [2]
