Narrative

Plains bristle grass is a native bunch grass with stiffly erect stems. Mature foliage height ranges from 60 to 120 cm (2 to 4 feet) tall, turning a pale yellow color. Stems are in dense clumps. Leaf blades are narrow, 5 to 6 mm wide and 8 to 25 cm long, with abundant pilose hairs on the upper surface. Ligule is densely hirsute with hairs 2 to 4 mm long. Inflorescence is densely flowered with in a compressed panicle commonly 7 to 12 cm long and 0.7 to 1.5 cm thick. Bristles, by which it gets its common name, are 6 to 7 mm long. Anthers exude first from the floret, and the anthers and stigmas appear white in color. Spikelets are small and globose at maturity, seldom longer than 2 mm. Chromosome number is 2n=54. 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).
