Phleum arenarium, the sand cat's tail or sand timothy, is a species of flowering plant in the grass family Poaceae.[2][3] It is native to Europe, Morocco, and the Levant, and it has been introduced to a number of locales around the world; the U.S. states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, Primorsky Krai, and Western Australia.[1] An annual, it is typically found in coastal dunes and other sandy areas.[1][4] It is occasionally available from commercial suppliers.[2]
