Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates, under Eriochloa, "Eriochloa villosa (Thunb.) Kunth reported from Sonoma Co. as germinating from birdseed." [Because the taxon is not treated further, it must be assumed that the resulting plants did not become naturalized; if it is an active waif in CA, it should have been included in a key to members of the genus, with a description online; the fact it was not suggests that the author considers it an historical waif in California (it is not indicated in the note how long ago the plants germinated from bird seed), or if it is a repeating occurrence.]
