Sorghastrum nutans, Nash (Chrysopogon nutans, Benth. Andropogon avenaceus, Michx.). Indian Grass. In large clumps, perennial, 3-5 ft. tall, bearing beautiful narrow panicles, 6-12 in. long, the copious golden hairs and brilliant yellow anthers producing a charming effect when in bloom, turning to a bronzy brown; culms simple, lvs. pale. A native species occurring on dry soils from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mts.—Useful for the wild border. One of the handsomest natives; very hardy and worthy of greater use.
