|discussion=<p><i>Panicum amarum </i>subsp.<i> amarum</i> grows on foredunes, where its longer rhizomes probably permit it to respond quickly to being buried under shifting sand, and occasionally in the swales with <i></i>subsp.<i> amarulum</i>. It ranges farther north (into Connecticut) than <i></i>subsp.<i> amarulum</i>, but apparently not into Mexico, Cuba, or the Bahamas. It includes both tetraploids and hexaploids, and is partially sterile. Hybridization with <i>P. virgatum</i> may have had some role in its origin.</p>
