Dig deeper at SERNEC, a consortium of southeastern herbaria.
Similar to Woolly Witchgrass, but stems usually taller (1-2 feet) and much less hairy. Read more at Vascular Plants of North Carolina.
Dichanthelium acuminatum var. fasciculatum can be identified by its pubescent spikelets, the hairiness of the lower rachis in the inflorescence, and the length of its spikelets (1.5–2.0 mm), per www.IllinoisWildflowers.info.
