|discussion=<p><i>Deschampsia cespitosa </i>subsp.<i> holciformis</i> grows in coastal marshes and sandy soils, from the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, to central California. It intergrades and is interfertile with <i>D. cespitosa </i>subsp.<i> beringensis</i>, differing in its closed panicles, scabrous veins on the lower glumes, and more strongly imbricate spikelets. There are relatively few collections; it is not clear whether this reflects lack of collecting or rarity.</p>
