|}}Diarrhena americana, also known as American beak grass or American beakgrain, is a native, perennial bunchgrass of North America.[2][3] Historically, Diarrhena americana was the only species of beak grass recognized in the United States; however studies have suggested that the known beak grass is to be classified into two distinct species, Diarrhena americana and Diarrhena obovata.[4] DistributionDiarrhena americana naturally occurs throughout the Midwestern United States, including in eastern Oklahoma and Missouri; south to Alabama; east to Kentucky, the Appalachian Mountains and northern Maryland; and north to southern Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and southern Michigan.[2][5][6]The grass plant lives in rich cove forests and woodlands, preferring to grow in the moist soils of shaded ledges and riverbanks.[7] It grows in rich, moist woodlands from Missouri to Maryland and south to Oklahoma and Alabama.[2] DescriptionDiarrhena americana is a bunchgrass that grows in {{convert|2|-|3|ft|m}} tall clumps. It has bright green leaf blades, that can grow up to {{convert|0.75|in|cm}} in width.[2]These perennial plants can grow flowers that grow above the foliage, with 3 inch tall floral spikes, during the early to mid-summer.[2][8][9][10] Culms range from {{convert|60|–|131|cm}} high. By late summer the flowers turn into hard, brown seed heads.[2] Each seed is reduced to a blunt beak, which is where the common name of beak grass comes from, and this beak is dispersed.[8] CultivationDiarrhena americana is cultivated as an ornamental grass, grown in traditional and wildlife gardens, and in natural landscaping projects.[8]It is considered an easy plant to grow and maintain, not needing much sun or water while generally being a tough plant. It will tolerate drought, heavy shade, competition from eastern black walnuts, and urban air pollution.[8] When available, the plant will grow into dense clumps in moist rich soils in full shade.[8] Seeds can be bought in stores and online.[9] ConservationDiarrhena americana is a listed endangered species in Maryland and Wisconsin, and a threatened species in Michigan.[3]See also
