Sporobolus bakeri is a species of grass known by the common names sand cordgrass and bunch cordgrass. It is native to the south-eastern United States, where it grows along the coast and in inland freshwater habitat in Florida.[1]
This species forms dense bunches up to 20 feet wide with stems up to 4 feet tall. The wiry leaves are light green on the undersides and darker on top.[2] During winter the plant is more brown than during summer, when it is brownish-green.
This grass grows in aquatic and semiaquatic habitat, including beaches,[1] ponds, and more upland sites. It may be used to control erosion and can tolerate flooding.[2] It can be grown as an ornamental.[2]
