• APC Comment: A North American taxon, now referred to Phalaris caroliniana Walt., recorded as "... occasionally introduced with grass seed." by A.J.Ewart, Victorian Naturalist 24: 193 (1908), but not known to be naturalised in Australia.

• Text: "A synonym of P. caroliniana Walt. which does not occur in Australia. A.J.Ewart (Vict. Naturalist 24: 193, 1908) gave this name in a list of exotics occurring in but not considered naturalised in Vic. Ewart indicated that it was 'occasionally introduced with grass seed'. It is possibly a reference to Phalaris angusta which resembles P. caroliniana."
