Apparently used for erosion control on inactive landfill site. Apr. 1, 1992, S. Junak SN-789 (JEPS, SBBG): NOTES: Although sporadic occurrences are well-documented, these were all determined to be casuals and accordingly the species was not included in The Jepson Manual. This species is also commonly used for roadcut erosion control and it may be difficult to determine if a local site or population is established or recently planted. Records listed above are representative; the species can be expected in every California county. Numerous unvouchered records are on file at CDA (based on specimens submitted but not retained); observed as common on roadcut banks throughout northern California, especially so along that part of the Interstate 5 corridor. Hordeum vulgare var. trifurcatum is a hooded form, reported as a roadside weed almost as often as the typical variety, although probably due to its visible distinctiveness and not frequency. Annotations at UC by N. Jacobsen (1980) do not recognize var. trifurcatum.
Initial Editorial Comments in no way mentioned in The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; in Munz (p.1509), "as an escape from cult.; native of Old World"; indicated for nearly all of NA in Kartesz & Meacham; 10 records in SMASCH, from nearly as many, widespread cos., collected 1899-1992; according to Source c, in California occurring as a waif (27 Feb 2003).
