Leptochloa nealleyi (Nealley's sprangletop).

Abstract

L. nealleyi is a grass weed which has been described as an invasive species in Cuba by Oviedo Prieto et al. (2012). However, in the Manual of Grasses of North America (Barkworth et al., 2007) it is regarded as a rare species in Cuba. Although not mentioned as an invasive species, Bergeron et al. (2015), report that L. nealleyi has expanded its habitat by becoming a worrisome weed in rice production in Louisiana and Texas, USA.
