Discussion
Chasmanthium laxum is almost completely sympatric with C. sessiliflorum in the southeastern United States, growing in similar habitats but extending farther into sphagnous stream heads, pine flatwoods, and pine savannahs. Yates (1966b) reported seeing putative, naturally occurring hybrids between Chasmanthium ornithorhynchum and C. laxum along streams of the outer coastal plain of Mississippi and Louisiana. In general appearance, the hybrids resemble C. laxum, their most striking difference being the enlarged, sterile spikelets.
