Andropogon barbinodisAndropogon perforatusBothriochloa palmeri Bothriochloa barbinodis is a species of grass known by the common name cane bluestem.

[1] It is a perennial bunchgrass growing in upright clumps 60 to 120 centimeters (24-48 inches) tall.

The leaves are 20 to 30 centimeters (8-12 inches) long and blue-green when new, drying to a reddish yellow.

In its native range, this grass is used as a forage for grazing animals and a ground cover for revegetating cleared land.

It is considered an indicator of rangeland damage, as it is often one of the first native species to be eliminated when an area is overgrazed.
