Grass Identification

The grass grows very dense, very short, in a interlocked mat. When mowed it does not seem to be cut at all. It tolerates the 90-100+ degree Texas summer with a very high humidity as well as St Augustine with heavy water usage due to a septic spray field. It has not overgrown the St Augustine or vice versa. It is currently browned out from the unusually cold winter but I do not think it typically browns at all. The grass has a very fine texture, with fine blades, and I can identify that it has a rolled vernation. Because it appears dead, I cannot verify any other characteristics. I would love to have a lawn of this grass but I can’t identify it.
This Image shows the approximate density of the grass, may be slightly less dense.
This is one "plant" that was joined together.

| I'm terrible at guessing these things but I'm going to go with a fine bladed zoysia. If you are in zone 11 the zoysia I'm thinking of would not brown out in the winter. However, the one in particular I have grown would invade St Aug (and everything else). Where do you live? |

| I do live in zone 11, central texas, brazos valley if that means anything to you. We have had a much colder than normal winter in my opinion with almost a full week of freezing temperatures. I do not believe this grass normally browns out, but it also does not overgrow the St Augustine at all. Others on this site in plant ID thought it might be a high grade bermuda. |
