Source of Report for California Hrusa et al., Madrono 49(2)61-98. 2002: DIST: NCo, SCoRI, SnJV: Hrusa et al. Current Status: No current information: DOC: Del Norte Co.: Abundant along a slough, Reservation Ranch, Smith River. Oct. 2, 1968, E.J. Garrett s.n. (CDA); Monterey Co.: near Chualar. Sept. 1938, McElrath s.n. (CDA); Fresno Co.: near Fresno. Sept., 1938, McElrath s.n. (CDA): NOTES: Determinations by S.L. Mosyakin (KW), March 26, 2001. Echinochloa frumentacea Link (E. crusgalli var. frumentaceum (Link) Trimen) has been consistently misapplied to this plant in California. It is probably most often an escape from cultivation, although populations may be locally persistent.
Initial Editorial Comments according to Hrusa et al., status uncertain, collections not recent, yet conditions of cited occurrences (e.g., "Abundant along a slough") evidently would qualify for inclusion in the flora according to criteria employed by Jepson Flora Project (4 Feb 2003).
