Chasmanthium latifolium, known as Woodoats, Inland sea oats, Northern sea oats, and River oats is a grass native to the southeastern United States and northeastern Mexico; it grows as far north as Pennsylvania and Michigan, where it is a threatened species.[1] It is a warm season, rhizomatous perennial grass with stems about 1 m tall. The plant typically grows in wooded areas and riparian zones.[2] It is used in landscaping in North America, where it is noted as a relatively rare native grass that thrives in partial shade in USDA hardiness zones 3-8.[3]
The species was previously classified as Uniola latifolia Michx..
