POACEAE 916<br />

Schizachyrium littorale (Nash) Bicknell, Seaside Little Bluestem. Cp (GA, NC, VA): coastal dunes and maritime dry<br />

grasslands, often with Uniola paniculata, Panicum amarum, and other dune plants; common. August-October. E. MA south to<br />

NC (or SC?), and inland on the shores of the Great Lakes. In NC, Sch. littorale is present and abundant on dunes of barrier<br />

islands from Shackleford Banks, Carteret County south to Brunswick County, near the SC border, and entirely absent from the<br />

Outer Banks (from Cape Lookout, Carteret County, north through Hyde County to Dare County). [= FNA, GW, K; <<br />

Schizachyrium sanguineum (Retzius) Alston var. hirtiflorum (Nees) Hatch, Hairy Crimson Bluestem. Cp (GA):<br />

{habitat}; rare. Sw. GA and FL west to AZ and south through Central America to South America. [= FNA, K; = Andropogon<br />

Schizachyrium scoparium (Michaux) Nash var. scoparium, Common Little Bluestem. Cp, Pd, Mt (GA, NC, SC, VA): in a<br />

wide range of moist to dry habitats; common. (June-) August-October. New Brunswick west to Alberta, south to FL and<br />

Mexico. One of the most ubiquitous plants in the modern landscape of our area, occurring throughout in the majority of habitats.<br />

This species is extremely variable, some of the variability correlated with habitat and geography; the recognition of infraspecific<br />

taxa is warranted. [= C, FNA, Z; < Andropogon scoparius Michaux – RAB (also see Sch. littorale); = Sch. scoparium – GW; ><br />

Schizachyrium scoparium (Michaux) Nash var. stoloniferum (Nash) J. Wipff, Creeping Little Bluestem. Cp (GA, SC):<br />

fall-line sandhills in the inner Coastal Plain, perhaps in other dry habitats, the habitat and range in our area requiring further<br />

study; uncommon? August-October. SC and GA south to FL and west to MS. See Wipff (1996a) for additional discussion. [=<br />

Schizachyrium maritimum (Chapman) Nash. AL, FL west to LA. [= K; = Andropogon maritimus Chapman] {not keyed at<br />

this time; add to synonymy}<br />

Schizachyrium niveum (Swallen) Gould, Pinescrub Bluestem, is reported for Lowndes Co. in sc. GA (Kral 1973), but the<br />

report has been discounted by later authors (Wipff in FNA 2003a). Not keyed. [= FNA, K; = Andropogon niveus Swallen – HC,<br />
