Panicum lindheimeri of Michigan Flora.
Moist sandy to peaty ground, especially on sandy, gravelly, often calcareous shores and marshy flats. The southernmost collections referred here to D. lindheimeri (e.g., some from Berrien, Monroe, Oakland, Washtenaw, and Wayne Cos.) look somewhat different from the characteristic stiff, glabrate, usually reddish, plants of northern often marly shore meadows along Lakes Michigan and Huron; but because they are glabrous, they are included here. Perhaps these southern specimens include an admixture of something else. Subsumed into D. acuminatum as subsp. lindheimeri (Nash) Freckmann & Lelong (Freckmann & Lelong 2002).
