- Comments
- Many Virginia specimens of P. setaceum are not identified as to variety. Based on specimens at VPI annotated by Dr. R.L. Wilbur (DUKE) in 2015, as well as additional verified specimens at other herbaria, the most frequent subspecific taxon in Virginia is var. mühlenbergii, while var. ciliatifolium and var. setaceum are widespread but much less often encountered. Further study of herbarium material is needed.
This var. is distinctive in its slender habit and extremely small spikelets. - Habitat
- Apparently most frequent in dry, open, sandy habitats of the inner Coastal Plain; widely scattered elsewhere.
- Native Status
- Native
