Initial Editorial Comments

one record in SMASCH, UC1255936 (T. C. Fuller 18980, 9 Oct 1969, "on shoulder of rr tracks, no cult." (with no indication of "naturalized" in SMASCH), Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Co.; in no way mentioned in Munz, Munz Supplement, The Jepson Manual [Ed. 1]; according to Source d, status uncertain, collections not recent, yet conditions of cited occurrences evidently would qualify for inclusion in the flora according to criteria employed by Jepson Flora Project (27 Feb 2003).

Editorial Comments 1
|
Correspondence 1 indicates, in a note under the genus, that Pennisetum latifolium Spreng. is included among a list of taxa that "have been collected in CA" but have not "become naturalized". [Unfortunately, the treatment does not indicate more precisely the status of Pennisetum latifolium Spreng. relative to the flora of California (e.g., is it a waif, or does it not occur presently in California at all?). As an active waif, the taxon would have been included in the key to members of the genus, with a description only online; the fact that the taxon was not treated this way suggests it might have been considered to be an historical waif. ]
