Additional Info

Low open forests, piedmont hardpan forests, depression swamps and ponds, impoundment shores, moist to wet clearings, and wet meadows; sometimes in dry and rather barren habitats, but generally in moister situations than other varieties of Dichanthelium acuminatum. The distribution and status of the varieties of Dichanthelium acuminatum are not fully known at present. Var. lindheimeri appears to be frequent, at least locally, throughout the piedmont and coastal Plain; there are many fewer collections from the mountains.

Earth Sangha Inventory

Founded in 1997, the Earth Sangha is a nonprofit public charity based in the Washington, DC, region. The Wild Plant Nursery is the most comprehensive source of local-ecotype, native plants in the Washington DC region, and the region’s only facility dedicated exclusively to this type of propagation. “Local-ecotype” plants are propagated from local, wild, naturally-occurring populations and are well-adapted to local conditions and for wildlife species that depend on the local forms, such as pollinators. Inventory is updated on a weekly basis so number may not be accurate.
