|discussion=<p><i>Sporobolus neglectus</i> is native to the Flora region, and grows at 0-1300 m in sandy soils, on river shores, and in dry, open areas within many plant communities, often in disturbed sites. It appears to have been extirpated from Maine and Maryland and is considered endangered or of special concern in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.</p><!--
--><p><i>Sporobolus vaginiflorus</i> is very similar to <i>S. neglectus</i>, but it differs in having strigose lemmas, sheaths that are sparsely hairy towards the base and, usually, longer spikelets.</p>
