Trisetum canescens is a species of grass known by the common names tall trisetum and tall false oat.

Distribution

The bunchgrass is native to western North America from Alaska and British Columbia to central California and Arizona, where it occurs in forests, mountain meadows, and streambanks, being most common among Ponderosa pines and stands of spruce and fir.
