Digitaria

not marked as a favorite taxon Digitaria leucocoma (Nash) Urban. Common name: Lake Ella Crabgrass. Phenology: Oct-Nov. Habitat: Longleaf pine sandhills. Distribution: Listed as endemic to sandhills near Lake Ella in Lake County, Florida (Hall 2019), but no specimens were cited. The type (Syntherisma leucocoma; Nash 1155) appears to be the only discernible specimen, with no apparent collections since. Some specimens of D. villosa collected in the vicinity of Eustis could be potentially redetermined to D. leucocoma; however, this area of Florida has virtually vanished from human development. Nonetheless, any material from this area determined as Digitaria villosa but hairs not papillose based should be evaluated more closely.
