Panicum flexile, commonly called wiry panicgrass, [1] is a species of flowering plant in the grass family (Poaceae). It is primarily native to eastern to North America, where it has a scattered and localized distribution. [2] It is typically found in mafic or calcareous open areas, both wet and dry, particularly associated with limestone. [3] [4]
Panicum flexile is a rather delicate annual grass. It can be distinguished from similar-looking Panicum by its long-acuminate spikelets arranged in a slender, elongated panicle. [5] [4]
