Narrative
Prairie View Indiana Germplasm indiangrass is a composite of 26 indiangrass collections and has features consistent with the species. It is a perennial, warm season bunch grass with short rhizomes and erect stems that reach a height of 6- to 8-ft at maturity. Leaf blades are rolled in the bud shoot. Sheaths are round, open and may be hairy at the base. The prominent, membranous clawlike ligules resemble a rifle sight. Indiangrass has a narrow plumlike seedhead that turns golden at maturity.

Description:
Collected from native stands (as designated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Division) of indiangrass within the state of Indiana. Seeds from 26 populations were collected from five counties in Indiana during 1993. Seeds from those populations were combined and planted into a single crossing block in 1994. Seeds from that crossing block are the source seed for this release.
