Comments
A rather small, weak, spindly plant of boggy situations; this taxon is often confused with Dichanthelium lucidum, which occurs in similar habitats and is much more common. D. lucidum's densely papillose fertile lemma readily distinguishes the two.
Habitat
Bogs, sphagnous seeps, and wet sandy or peaty clearings. Infrequent in the Coastal Plain; rare in the s. Piedmont.
Native Status
Native
