Lopsided Indian Grass
Sorghastrum secundum
Lopsided indiangrass grows on dry sites including forests, forest margins, sandhills, and prairies. It is found in the southeast between Florida and Texas in the south, to South Carolina in the north. Lopsided indiangrass is an important browse for cattle and the seeds are eaten by birds. Lopsided indiangrass is a perennial, native, bunchgrass with perpendicular tufts on one side of the stalk. The tufts are golden brown terminal panicles of flowers or seeds, 4" to 16" long. Lopsided indiangrass may be confused with yellow indiangrass because of their similar heights, leaves, and panicles. However, the panicles of yellow indiangrass are not perpen-dicular to the stem and are not on one side of the stalk. The leaf internodes of yellow in-diangrass are smooth. Also, yellow indiangrass grows up to 7½' tall.
