Danthonia californica is a species of grass known by the common name California oatgrass. This plant is native to two separate regions of the Americas, western North America from California to Saskatchewan, and Chile. This is a clumping erect perennial grass with stems approaching a meter in height at maximum. The leaves are flat and short and may be hairy or hairless. The inflorescence holds one or more spikelets, each spikelet holding up to 8 florets. This grass grows best in moist areas, generally in thin forests and meadows.
