• Comment: "A native of California in N America that has been reported by D.E.Anderson, loc. cit. [i.e. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium 2: 42 (1892)] , to occur in north-eastern Vic. from specimens held at US, although no duplicated collections are known to be held in Australia. N.G.Walsh, in N.G.Walsh & T.J.Entwisle (eds), Fl. Victoria 2: 464-465, (1994) provides a brief account of the species on a tentative basis until confirmatory specimens are found. P. lemmonii was also included in a list of naturalised grasses occurring in N.S.W. by D.O.Cross & J.W.Vickery, Contr. New South Wales Natl. Herb. 1(5): 279 (1950), however there are no records showing it is currently naturalised in that State. At NSW there is a 1916 collection of plants that were growing near a stack of American hay at the Hawkesbury Agricultural College, but these probably represent an adventitious, temporary event."
