|discussion=<p>Chasmanthium latifolium grows along stream and river banks and in rich deciduous woods. It is the most widespread species of the genus, extending further west and east than any of the other four species. The map shows its verifiable range. Yates (1966b) reported seeing one specimen each from New Jersey, New Mexico, and Manitoba, but none of the specimens had clear locality information. In the absence of any other specimens from these regions, the locality data on these three specimens are regarded as probably erroneous.</p><!--
