Bouteloua chondrosioides, commonly known as sprucetop grama, is a perennial bunchgrass native to southern Arizona and northern Mexico.

Sprucetop grama is a small drought tolerant bunchgrass that grows to around 1 foot (0.30 m) tall in the wild.

[4] Sprucetop grama is found chiefly in northern Mexico and in the desert foothills of southern Arizona.

Field research showed that sprucetop preferred shallow slopes with acidic clay soils.

Sprucetop was usually found growing among other drought tolerant prairie grasses, such as Bouteloua hirsuta and Hilaria belangeri.
