Pavement cracks, railroad corridors, and compacted (often saline) ground. This is a Mediterranean species collected a few times by Lloyd H. Shinners from 1936-1942. It was not collected again until 1972 and then in 2017. It still persists in Jefferson, Milwaukee, and Waukesha Cos. and perhaps elsewhere. If included in Sporobolus, it would be called S. schoenoides (L.) P.M. Peterson.
