Fringed Yellow-eyed Grass is an endangered species in Maryland. Less than five populations are known and these populations are restricted to the coastal plain. Fringed Yellow-eyed Grass is only found in Delmarva Bays and in acidic seepage wetlands but unfortunately the few small populations that are found in Maryland are poorly protected and several known populations have been extirpated (MD DNR, 2017).
