Treatment appears in FNA Volume 25. Treatment on page 457.
Culms 20-120 cm. Panicles more than twice as long as wide, relatively contracted, usually nodding, not fully exerted; branches ascending to appressed; pulvini almost absent. Upper florets stramineous to orange, not disarticulating at maturity.
Discussion
Panicum miliaceum subsp. miliaceum is the sub¬species used in bird seed. It probably rarely persists because of the retention of the upper florets on the plant and, in northern states, poor seed survival over winter.

None.
Lower Taxa
