Arrowfeather threeawn is the most common Aristida on longleaf pine-bluestem range. It grows on dry, sandy sites, especially those heavily grazed or otherwise disturbed. It is a perennial bunchgrass with mostly basal leaves and forms dense clumps that are usually less than 3 inches in diameter. Flower stalks, which mature in the fall, average 2 feet tall. The inflor- escence is a narrow, nodding panicle 6 to 12 inches long. Spikelets are round in cross sectio
