Taxonomic Notes

Synonyms: Panicum curtifolium Nash; D. ensifolium (Baldwin ex Elliott) Gould ssp. curtifolium (Nash) Freckmann & Lelong; D. acuminatum (Swartz) Gould & C.A. Clark var. implicatum (Scribner) Gould & C.A. Clark; Panicum ensifolium Baldwin ex Elliott var. curtifolium (Nash) Lelong.[2]

Varieties: none.[2]

Description

D. curtifolium is a native perennial with a graminoid growth habit that is a member of the Poaceae family. [3]

Distribution

D. curtifolium is found in the southeastern corner of the United States excluding Georgia, ranging along the coast from Mississippi to Virginia. [4]

Ecology

Habitat

D. curtifolium proliferates in bogs, sphagnous streamhead swamps, mountain streams, and marl meadows. [4] It responds both negatively and positively to soil disturbance by roller chopping in South Florida.[5] However, it responds negatively to soil disturbance by agriculture in Southwest Georgia.[6]
