Discussion
Eriochloa aristata is a weed of moist swales, roadsides, and irrigated fields of the southwestern United States. Its range extends through Mexico and Central America to Colombia. There are three specimens from Oktibbeha County, Mississippi, two made in 1890 and one made in 1960. The last collection was from a waste area, which suggests that the species is now established there. The other two were both made in Starkville, where there is an experimental farm. The labels on the two specimens do not state whether the collections were made from experimental plantings or from plants that had escaped from such plantings.
