About

Digitaria floridana, commonly referred to as Florida crabgrass, is a rare species of crabgrass endemic to north-central peninsular Florida in the US.

Where it grows

It is known to grow in longleaf pine sandhill and sandy mesic hammocks. The species is believed to be an obligate heliophyte, requiring full sun exposure to persist. As such, it may disappear from fire-suppressed landscapes.
