|discussion=<p><i>Eragrostis trichodes</i> grows in sandy to gravelly prairies, open sandy woods, rocky slopes, and roadsides, at 100-2150 m, often in associations with <i>Quercus marilandica</i>, <i>Q. stellata</i>, <i>Juniperus</i>, and <i>Redfieldia flexuosa</i>. It is endemic to the contiguous United States, and is available commercially as an ornamental. Records from outside the primary range probably reflect introductions.</p>
