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.

Found in a great variety of forests, including rich deciduous forests and hemlock-hardwoods, but most characteristic of rather dry open forests associated with jack pine, oak, and/or aspen; on forested dunes with pine and in rocky mixed forests.
This is a common forest understory grass, especially northward; the conspicuous inflorescences appear very early in the spring. Although many manuals state that the leaves are glaucous beneath, an examination of the leaves will show that it is the upper surface that is glaucous. Some plants on Isle Royale have both surfaces green.
