(1996, pg. 312): NOTES: The above list is not exhaustive. As a casual, this species is relatively commonly encountered and can be expected throughout California; it is likely known from every county. Probably the most common introduction vector is straw bales used for roadside erosion control, but also may be a contaminant or a component of seeding mixes. It is popular for use as the latter because of its usually ephemeral nature. Although individual sites rarely persist, new locations appear regularly. Naturalization has been reported however, as in Ross 6305 above (Los Angeles Co.), and its extent should be investigated further.
Initial Editorial Comments five records in SMASCH, collected 1899-1992, from five different cos.; "commonly cult. and often escaping in waste places; native of Old World." in Munz, p. 1507; in no way mentioned in Munz Supplement, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; indicated for nearly all of NA in Kartesz & Meacham; waif according to Hrusa et al., ms; naturalized in CA, not listed in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1], according to Simpson & Rebman, 1996; according to Source e, in California occurring as a waif (28 Feb 2003)
