Taxonomic CommentsDichanthelium filiramum was published by LeBlond (2016). It is a species of dry to moist sandy pinelands ranging from Delaware south to Florida, west to Texas and Arkansas; also in the West Indies (Weakley 2015). "The Ashe type for Panicum filiramum was treated as a synonym of P. aciculare by Hitchcock & Chase (1910), but it is the same as Nash's P. chrysopsidifolium published three years later. Lower leaves of the Florida type of P. chrysopsidifolium are up to 10 mm wide, but no plants have been seen outside of Florida with leaves wider than 5 mm. The specific epithet filiramum was changed to filirameum by Hitchcock & Chase, but Ashe's original spelling has been determined to be legitimate." (Weakley 2015).
