Xyris caroliniana, the Carolina yelloweyed grass, [3] is a North American species of flowering plant in the yellow-eyed-grass family. It is native to Cuba and to the coastal plain of the southern and eastern United States from eastern Texas to New Jersey. [4] [5]

Xyris caroliniana is a perennial herb up to 100 cm (40 inches) tall with narrow leaves up to 50 cm (20 inches) long, and yellow flowers. [5]

Within the United States' Florida and Georgia, this species has been observed in habitat such as mesic sandy meadows, wiregrass-longleaf pinewoods, and slash pine woodlands. [6]
