Sporobolus flexuosus is a species of grass known by the common name mesa dropseed.[1] It is native to western North America, where it can be found in the deserts and woodlands of the Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico.
This bunchgrass forms a tuft of stems growing up to 1 metre (3.3 ft) long, erect to decumbent in form. It is a perennial grass but it is short-lived and is sometimes an annual.[2] The leaves are up to 26 centimetres (10 in) long and rough-haired along the margins. The inflorescence is an open panicle of spreading branches bearing grayish spikelets.
