Aristida stricta is a warm-season grass, native to North America, that dominates understory vegetation in sandhills and flatwoods coastal plain ecosystems of the Carolinas in the Southeastern United States.[1][2] It is known as wiregrass (due to its texture) and pineland three-awn grass.

Aristida stricta |
Its common name, wiregrass, gave rise to the naming of the Wiregrass Region in which it is located.
This is a fast-growing species that regenerates quickly after fires. The plant depends on regular summer burning in order to stimulate flowering and seed production.[3]
