POACEAE 917<br />

* Setaria faberi R.A.W. Herrmann, Nodding Foxtail Grass, Giant Foxtail-grass. Mt, Pd, Cp (GA, NC, SC, VA): disturbed<br />

areas; uncommon, native of China. [= RAB, C, FNA, G, K, W; = S. faberii – F, HC, Z, orthographic variant]<br />

Setaria geminata (Forsskål) Veldkamp var. paludivaga (A.S. Hitchcock & Chase) R.D. Webster, Alligator Grass,<br />

Paspalidium. Cp (GA, SC): in shallow water; rare. December. S. SC south to FL, west to TX; also in Central and South<br />

America. This taxon is sometimes considered an introduction from the Old World, but its occurrence in undisturbed wetlands<br />

remote from extensive human activity suggests that it is native. Webster (1995) has merged Paspalidium into Setaria. [= Y; =<br />

Panicum paludivagum A.S. Hitchcock & Chase – RAB, HC, S; < Paspalidium geminatum – FNA, GW, X; = Paspalidium<br />

* Setaria italica (Linnaeus) Palisot de Beauvois, Foxtail-millet, Italian-millet. Pd (GA, NC, SC, VA), Cp, Mt (VA):<br />

disturbed areas, rare, native of Eurasia. Probably derived via cultivation from S. viridis, and cultivated as a food crop in China<br />

since at least 6000 BP and later in Europe (Hancock 2004). [= RAB, C, F, FNA, G, HC, K, W, Z; = Chaetochloa italica<br />

(Linnaeus) Lamson-Scribner – S]<br />

Setaria macrosperma (Lamson-Scribner & Merrill) K. Schumann, Coral Bristlegrass. Cp (GA, SC): hammocks and<br />

maritime forests, also disturbed areas; rare. SC south to FL; Bahamas, Mexico. [= RAB, FNA, HC, K, Z; = Chaetochloa<br />

macrosperma Lamson-Scribner & Merrill – S]<br />

Setaria magna Grisebach, Saltmarsh Foxtail-grass, Giant Foxtail-grass. Cp (GA, NC, SC, VA), Pd* (GA*): interdune<br />

swales, near-coastal marshes; uncommon. NJ south to s. FL, west to e. TX; disjunct inland in GA, AR, LA, TX, and NM; West<br />

Indies, Bermuda, Costa Rica. [= RAB, C, F, FNA, G, HC, K, Z; = Chaetochloa magna (Grisebach) Lamson-Scribner – S]<br />

Setaria parviflora (Poiret) Kerguélen, Knotroot Bristlegrass, Perennial Foxtail-grass. Cp, Pd, Mt (GA, NC, SC, VA):<br />

marshes, ditches, moist disturbed areas; common. MA to IA south to s. FL and s. TX, south through Mexico to Central America;<br />

CA and NV; West Indies. Gandhi & Barkworth (2003) provide a detailed discussion of the reasons for the nomenclatural<br />

change. [= FNA, K, Z; = S. geniculata Palisot de Beauvois – RAB, C, F, G, HC, W; = Chaetochloa geniculata (Palisot de<br />

misapplied; >< Setaria lutescens (Weigel) Hubb. – HC, misapplied; >< S. pumila ssp. pallidifusca – K, treatment apparently<br />

garbled; = Chaetochloa lutescens (Weigel) Stuntz – S]<br />

* Setaria verticillata (Linnaeus) Palisot de Beauvois, Hooked Bristlegrass. Mt (VA): disturbed areas; uncommon, introduced<br />

from Europe. [= FNA, G, K; = S. verticillata var. verticillata – C, F, HC; = Chaetochloa verticillata (Linnaeus) Lamson-<br />

Scribner – S; < S. verticillata – Z]<br />

* Setaria viridis (Linnaeus) Palisot de Beauvois var. viridis. Cp, Pd, Mt (GA, NC, SC, VA): fields, disturbed areas; common,<br />

introduced from Eurasia. [= C, FNA, K, Z; < S. viridis – RAB, HC, W; > S. viridis var. viridis – F, G; > S. viridis var.<br />

(Linnaeus) Lamson-Scribner – S]<br />

Setaria adhaerans (Forsskål) Chiovenda. Distributed widely throughout the tropics and subtropics, in North America from<br />

s. AL west to CA (perhaps only adventive in portions of that distribution). [= FNA, K, Z] {synonymy incomplete}<br />
