Of this genus about seven species are known, one (or two very closely allied) of which 
is very widely diffused in the Mediterranean region, India, and the warmer parts of 
America; one is peculiar to the Mediterranean region; one inhabits India, the Malayan 
Archipelago, and Madagascar ; two (or varieties of one) are endemic in New Zealand, 
and two or three in Andine and Antarctic America.

Vasey records this grass from “river banks, Mexican border,” without further remark; 
but both Grisebach and Déll question its being indigenous in America.

MExico and Central AMERICA.
