Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.
The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

R. Schipper
Swamps, floodplain forests, depressions in deciduous forests, thickets, very rarely on dry forested sites.
The panicle tends to be stiffer and less open than in C. latifolia, in which it is typically lax and drooping. The ligules of C. arundinacea are more deeply tinged with reddish brown than in C. latifolia, in which they are generally colorless or nearly so.
Though known uncommonly from the western Upper Peninsula, a Farwell collection from Keweenaw Co. (749, 12 July 1890) is sufficiently out of range as to suggest a mixture of labels. It is not mapped.
