Description:
Collected from native stands (as designated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Division) of little bluestem within the state of Indiana. Seeds from six populations were collected from four 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.
