Deschampsia elongata is a species of grass known by the common name slender hairgrass.[1] It is native to western North America from Alaska to Wyoming to northern Mexico, and South America in Chile. It grows at all elevations, often in moist areas. It is a perennial grass forming dense clumps sometimes exceeding a meter in height. Most of the leaves are located in a tuft about the base of the stems.[2] The inflorescence is a thin row of V-shaped spikelets arranged parallel to and mostly flat against the stem.[3]
