broad-leaved panic grass

Dichanthelium latifolium

Description 2

A less common species of mesic forests and riparian corridors of at least some remnant quality. Can be a dead-ringer for clandestinum but is easily differentiated by sheaths that are completely glabrous minus a line of hairs along the margins, along with being overall slightly smaller in stature.

Spikelets 2.9-3.9 mm long, 1.6-2.0 mm wide, ellipsoid, sparsely pubescent.
