semidesert areas


Explanation:
it sounds fine to me

This is a warm-season bunchgrass, introduced from South Africa in 1932. It is adapted to semidesert areas of the Southwestern States. The grass is palatable, drought resistant, and fairly long lived. It lacks hardiness for more northern areas. Seed of improved varieties is available.

Uganda has magnificent scenery, including snow-capped mountains, thick tropical forests, and semidesert areas. Lakes cover more than a sixth of Uganda.
