|discussion=<p><i>Sporobolus jacquemontii</i>, like <i>S. indicus</i>, is native to North America. It is not a common species in the Flora region, being known only from coastal and low elevation sites in Florida. It is sometimes included in <i>S. indicus</i> (Baaijens and Veldkamp 1991) or S. pyramidalis P. Beauv. (Laegaard and Peterson 2001), but is retained here pending more definitive study.</p>
