Discussion
Paspalum setaceum var. psammophilum grows in sandy, maritime habitats and, inland, along sandy roadsides and in dry fields, from Massachusetts to the District of Columbia. The combination of its spreading to prostrate habit and densely puberulent foliage distinguishes it from other varieties of P. setaceum.
