Panicum miliaceum subsp. miliaceum

Treatment appears in FNA Volume 25. Treatment on page 457.

Culms 20-120 cm. Panicles more than twice as long as wide, relatively contracted, usually nodding, not fully exerted; branches ascending to appressed; pulvini almost absent. Upper florets stramineous to orange, not disarticulating at maturity.

Discussion

Panicum miliaceum subsp. miliaceum is the sub¬species used in bird seed. It probably rarely persists because of the retention of the upper florets on the plant and, in northern states, poor seed survival over winter.
