Narrative
Streambed bristle grass is a native bunch grass with stiffly erect stems. Mature foliage height ranges from 26 to 100 cm (1 to 3 feet) tall and is usually pale or with a whitish or grayish coloring. Stems are in dense clumps, infrequently branched, and rough. Ligule is a short tuft of hair 1 mm in length. Leaf blades are flat or rolled 8 to 25 cm (3 to 9.8 inches) long and typically 2 to 4 mm wide, hairless or sparsely pilose. Inflorescence is densely flowered with a contracted panicle that is commonly 3 to 11 cm, although shorter in some plants, and 1 to 2 cm thick. Bristles, by which it gets its common name, are 4 to 7 mm long and are usually solitary below each spikelet. Spikelets are 2 mm long at maturity. Stigmas and anthers appear together with the stigmas purple in color. Paleas are flat or slightly rounded. Chromosome number is 2n=54, 68 or 72. Plants produce seed from May through November. Native species for rangeland planting, erosion control, wildlife habitat, and water quality improvement. It has good germination, while retaining some dormant seed to deal with unpredictable weather conditions. Its bunch growth habit and good seed size make it particularly suitable for upland-bird habitat. Well adapted for use in the southern portions of Texas, coinciding with MLRA 83 (Rio Grande Plain) and MLRA 150 (Gulf Coast Prairies).
