Discussion

Calamagrostis canadensis var. macouniana is common in marshes and mud flats. It ranges eastward from Saskatchewan to Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, and from North Dakota and Missouri to New Jersey and Virginia. According to C.L. Hitchcock (Hitchcock et al. 1969), it may extend as far west as Idaho.

Vernon Harms (pers. comm.) reports that in the southern grassland region of Saskatchewan, intermediates between Calamagrostis canadensis var. macouniana and var. canadensis appear to be more common than plants that fit var. macouniana well. Some specimens that seem nearest to var. macouniana stretch across southern Saskatchewan south of 51° N latitude, from the Cypress Hills in the west to the Souris Valley in the east. Harms' observations suggest that it may not be practical to recognize this variety.
