|discussion=<p>Deschampsia cespitosa subsp. holciformis grows in coastal marshes and sandy soils, from the Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, to central California. It intergrades and is interfertile with D. cespitosa subsp. beringensis, 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>
