Erianthus coarctatus, known commonly as compressed plumegrass or brown plume grass, is a species of perennial grass found in North America.[1]
E. coarctatus can reach between 1 and 1.5 meters (approximately 3.28 to 4.92 feet) in height, with blades up to 4 decimeters (approximately 15.75 inches) in length and 1 centimeters in width. The blades are scaberulous with glabrous sheaths. When grain is produced, it is ellipsoid in shape, reddish in color, and reaches a length between 2 and 3.5 millimeter.[2]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]
Within North America E. coarctatus‘s range stretches from Delaware to Florida and westward to Texas.[1][3]
It can be found in mesic environments such as marshes, swamps, and depression ponds.[3][4] E. coarctatus is often observed in habitats that experience frequent fire.[5]
