Sporobolus fertilis

The species is recorded from Victoria on the basis of a collection housed in Brisbane herbarium labelled simply Horsham, March 1999. The specimen was included in a molecular study of the S. africanus complex in Australia (teste Simon & Jacobs 1999), and, while morphologically agreeing with S. fertilis, the specimen is annotated ‘Gives a DNA banding very different from other material of S. fertilis’. On the basis of this comment, the uncertanty of it having been wild-collected, and the absence of other supporting specimens, the species is only tentatively included as part of the naturalised flora of Victoria.
