Description ²

A coastal plain species that is rare in Missouri, found in just a handful of prairie remnants in the southwestern and western portions of the state. Where it does occur here, though, it is often in abundance and is probably overlooked. The leaves are as thin or even thinner than the "grass-like" species but are distributed along the stem and not growing basally; the plant is usually quite glabrous.

Spikelets: 2.0-2.8 mm, ellipsoid.
