Calamagrostis koelerioides, the fire reedgrass, is a species of grass native to western North America in the United States. It ranges from western Wyoming to Washington state, south to Mexico.[1] It is found in many habitat types.[2]
Fire reedgrass is a perennial bunch grass with culms growing up to 80 cm (31 in) long. The inflorescence is a dense array of spikelets with the individual branches bunched parallel along the stem. Each rough spikelet is about 6 mm (0.24 in) long and has a stiff, bent or twisted awn.[3][4]
