Narrative
Prairie View Indiana Germplasm big bluestem is a composite of 20 big bluestem collections and has features consistent with the species. It is a perennial, warm season bunch grass with short, scaly rhizomes. Stems are erect, pithy and reach a height of 6- to 8-ft at maturity. It is very leafy at the base lessening considerably up the stem. Leaf blades have long, silky hairs that are widely dispersed on the upper surface. Plants bear 2-6 racemes at the tip of the culms, and usually some smaller inflorescences from the leaf axils.

the original spelling is permissible under Shenzhen ICN Rec. 60C.2, since the given name Gerard or Gérard, which dates at least to the Early Middle Ages when Latin was the international language of Europe, has a well-established latinized form and is not correctable under Shenzhen ICN Art. 60.8

Collected from native stands (as designated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Division) of big bluestem within the state of Indiana.

Seeds from that crossing block are the source seed for this release.
