|discussion=<p><i>Leptochloa panicea</i> is a cosmopolitan species that somewhat resembles <i>L. chinensis</i>, an aggressive weed that has not yet been found in the Flora region. It differs in its sparsely to densely hairy, rather than glabrous or almost glabrous, sheaths and blades. Two of its three subspecies grow in the Flora region.</p>
