|discussion=<p>Sphenopholis filiformis grows in sandy soils of pine and mixed pine forests, at 0-500 m, in the southeastern United States. It is found primarily in the coastal plain, but extends to the piedmont. Smith (1991) reported it for northern Arkansas (Nielsen 4946, identification not verified). Sphenopholis filiformis differs from occasional forms of S. obtusata with somewhat scabrous distal lemmas in having narrower leaves.</p>
