Description
Perennial grass with erect culms to 180 cm tall.[2] Sheaths closed, often pubescent, auricles greatly reduced or absent.[3] Inflorescences narrow panicles with 6 to 9-flowered, laterally-compressed spikelets.[2] Panicle branches with 1-5 spikelets.[4] Lemmas keeled, awned,[4] 7-11 veined, laterally compressed, typically glabrous;[2] lower glumes 3-7 veined, glabrous.[4]
Bloom Period
May-August[3]
Distribution
Across western North America.[3]
Habitat
Prairies, grasslands, shrublands, open forest.[4]
Propagation
Native Plant Network Propagation Protocol
Seed
Seed sample from: 2008
Average measurement: 14.6 x 1.5 x 1.5
Measurement range: L: 13.5 – 16 W: 1.1 – 1.8 D: 1.2 - 2
Features
Shape: Inner seed is about ½ the size of its husk, and brown.
Color:Seed husk tan, tending to be whiter toward hilium, and browner towards awn.
Surface:Hilium is somewhat glossy, while rest of husk is very hairy. Awn is brown and straight. Surface of seed longitudinally striate and glossy.
Latitudinal cross section: elliptical 
Longitudinal cross section: elliptical 
Basic Explanations and Assumptions:
The dimensions for the seeds are length x width x depth. The location of the hilum is used as the base of the seed, and the length is measured from hilum to the opposite apex. Where a style is present, the length is measured from the hilum to the bottom of the style. Width is measured at a right angle to the length at the widest part. Depth is measured at a right angle to the intersection of height and width lines.
Measurements included are the mean average for each measurement of ten separate seeds.
All measurements in millimeters unless otherwise noted.
