|discussion=<p><i>Dichanthelium portoricense </i>subsp.<i> portoricense</i> is more common than <i></i>subsp.<i> patulum</i> in coastal sand dunes. It also grows in sandy pinelands and savannahs. It resembles <i>D. aciculare</i> somewhat, but that species usually has ascending-pilose culms, strongly involute or acicular blades, and longer spikelets.</p>
