'''''Panicum flexile''''', commonly called '''wiry panicgrass''',<ref name=usda/> is a species of [flowering plant](/source/flowering_plant) in the grass family ([Poaceae](/source/Poaceae)). It is primarily native to eastern to North America, where it has a scattered and localized distribution.<ref name=BONAP/> It is typically found in mafic or calcareous open areas, both wet and dry, particularly associated with [limestone](/source/limestone).<ref name=fna/><ref name=weakley2015/>

''Panicum flexile'' is a rather delicate annual grass. It can be distinguished from similar-looking ''Panicum'' by its long-acuminate spikelets arranged in a slender, elongated panicle.<ref name=tx/><ref name=weakley2015/>
