Fimbristylis puberula, commonly called hairy fimbry, is a species of flowering plant in the sedge family (Cyperaceae). It is native to North America, where it has a widespread, but patchy, distribution. The largest populations are in the Southeastern Coastal Plain and the eastern Great Plains.Fimbristylis puberula Michigan Natural Features Inventory Its natural habitat is in prairies, savannas, and glades. It can be found on both basic and acidic soil.Fimbristylis puberula var. puberula Flora of North America It is a perennial that produces fruits in late spring and early summer. It has historically been confused with the similar-looking Fimbristylis caroliniana, which is restricted to coastal areas.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Fimbristylis puberula has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualFimbristylis puberula carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.

09Environmental DNA3 detections
Where the DNA of Fimbristylis puberula was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?
DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.
How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
