| Distribution | Clay County only, so far as is known. An immature, vegetative specimen was collected by Dan Pittillo in 1976 (Pittillo 7375 WCUH), and given a "tentative ID." Needs careful vetting by a grass expert. A second specimen, correctly identified, was collected from plants grown at the Soil Conservation Service, Chapel Hill. Weakley (2018) lists 3 old references which attribute this species to NC; presumably the specimens are at herbaria not in the SERNEC network or have not yet been digitized. Blomquist (1948) states that a collection was made from "Cape Fear River near Wilmington", but does not provide details of whom, when, or where the specimen is housed.
