Dichanthelium lindheimeri, commonly called Lindheimer panicgrass,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the grass family (Poaceae).[2] It is native primarily to eastern areas the United States and Canada, with its range extending into the South Central region. There are also outlying western populations in California , New Mexico and Oregon.[1][3]
It is most commonly associated with sandy, ephemerally wet soils. Typical habitats include prairies, glades, streambanks, floodplains, and lake shores.[3][4]
Dichanthelium lindheimeri is a perennial grass that fruits from May to November.[4] It superficially resembles the closely related Dichanthelium lanuginosum, but differs in a number of characters: D. lindheimeri has nearly-hairless sheathes and leaf surfaces, crooked marginal leaf cilia, and a shorter ligule.[3] In addition, it is typically found in wetter habitats compared to the more dry-mesic D. lanuginosum.[3]
Some authors choose to treat Dichanthelium lindheimeri and many other closely taxa as varieties of an expanded, highly polymorphic Dichanthelium acuminatum complex.[4][5]
