Sporobolus clandestinus (Biehler) A.S. Hitchcock. Rough Dropseed. Phen: Aug-Oct. Hab: Glades, barrens, and thin soil of woodlands, also in dry sands and pine rocklands. Dist: MA, NY, MI, WI, IA, and KS south to s. FL and TX.
Origin/Endemic status: Native
Taxonomy Comments: Wipff & Jones (1995) recommended reducing this taxon to a variety under S. compositus, because of its morphologic similarity. While S. clandestinus and S. compositus are undoubtedly closely related, I prefer to retain the two as species.
