Remarks.

Echinochloa colona is usually easy to identify, yet care should be taken to distinguish it from forms with small spikelets of E. crus-galli ( Martínez-Azorín and Crespo 2021). In the Mediterranean region, it occurs as a persistent weed in crop fields; elsewhere, it has only been recorded as a usually ephemeral alien.
