AB  - A selected germplasm of whiplash pappusgrass (Pappophorum vaginatum Buckley [Poaceae]) has been released for rangeland seeding, saline soil revegetation, and wildlife habitat restoration plantings in south Texas. Webb Germplasm whiplash pappusgrass is a blend of 3 accessions selected from an evaluation at multiple sites in the intended area of use. Selections were made based on visual evaluations of plant characteristics and germination tests of seed collected from each location. Following selection, components of the germplasm were increased in isolation and blended following harvest to ensure inclusion of seed of each selected accession. Accessions included in the blend originate from 3 counties and distinct soil types. This germplasm represents the first commercial release of a whiplash pappusgrass ecotype originating from south Texas.
