Description ⁴

Syn. D. oligosanthes var. scribnerianum
Very common, weedy species found throughout the state. It is most commonly found in overgrown lawns, fields, roadsides, etc., though it is regularly found in more intact communities like prairies, glades, and openings of woodlands. The glabrous leaves are long and "boat shaped" as the tips curve upwards, the sheaths are stiff-hairy with pustular bases, and the spikelets are large (in the 3.0mm range).

Spikelets: usually 2.7-3.5 mm long, 2.0-2.4 mm wide, broadly obovoid-ellipsoid, usually glabrous.
