Notes

A large perennial grass native to North America which is used as an ornamental in several countries and appears as a garden escapee in many European countries ( Eliáš Jr. et al. 2023). In Slovakia, the species is naturalised and could potentially become invasive ( Eliáš Jr. et al. 2023). In Hungary, it had one previous record ( Wirth et al. 2020a). New to Budapest.
