|discussion=<p><i>Dichanthelium acuminatum </i>subsp.<i> spretum</i> grows in wet to moist, sandy or peaty soil, pine savannahs, and bogs. It is not a common taxon, but is most frequent on the coastal plain and around the Great Lakes. It is very similar to the more common, southern <i></i>subsp.<i> longiligulatum</i>. It also resembles <i>D. dichotomum</i> in size and overall habit.</p>
