Dichanthelium lindheimeri

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.

Typical habitats include prairies, glades, streambanks, floodplains, and lake shores.

[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.
