-->{{Treatment/Body
|discussion=<p><i>Lolium temulentum </i>subsp.<i> temulentum</i> is found occasionally in disturbed sites throughout much of the Flora region. It is native to the Eastern Hemisphere, where it is known only as a weed, especially of grain fields. Awn presence or absence and length vary, and have no taxonomic significance.</p><!--
--><p>The seeds sometimes become infected with an endophytic fungus, assumed to be the source of the toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids loline, 6-methyl loline, and lolinine, but not temuline, which is now considered an artifact of isolation (Dannhardt and Steindl 1985). Because primitive agricultural practices could not separate seeds of <i>Lolium temulentum</i> from those of wheat, infected seeds often resulted in poisonous flour.</p>
