(holo-: FI).</p> <p>Observations. – An Australian and South East Asian species, Ehrharta stipoides Labill. (also referred to as Microlaena stipoides (Labill.) R. Br. or meadow rice grass, now included in the genus Ehrharta Thunb. following Verboom &amp; al. 2003) is recorded as naturalised in Kwa-Zulu Natal, Sri Lanka, and Easter Island (WCSP, 2014), and in both Hawaii and Réunion, where it has become invasive (PACIFIC ISLAND ECOSYSTEMS AT RISK, 2014). It invades disturbed sites rapidly as the awned florets are dispersed on clothing or animal fur and is reported to increase with fire (HAWAIIAN ALIEN PLANT STUDIES, 2014). With its distinctive long awns this species is rarely misidentified and is more likely to attract the attention of collectors than other Poaceae. The lack of other collections and other sightings suggests this could be a recent arrival brought in by visitors to the Andringitra National Park. No other species of Ehrharta have been recorded in Madagascar in spite of the common occurrence of E. erecta Lam. in South Africa and Réunion.</p> <p>Specimen examined. – MADAGASCAR. Prov.

Gramin. 2: 441. 1831.</p> <p>Typus: SENEGAL: Fort St Louis, Leprieur s.n. (holo-: P; iso-: K [K000365082]!).</p> <p>Observations. – An African and Asian species, Enteropogon prieurii (Kunth) Clayton is naturalised in the U.S.A, with records from the states of Alabama and North Carolina (WCSP, 2014). No invasive characteristics are reported from this area, but herbarium records suggest that its distribution range is increasing in coastal areas around the Indian Ocean. Enteropogon prieurii is likely to be under-recorded due to its striking similarity to the common Chloris virgata Sw. - both species possessing a pale fluffy inflorescence developing black dispersal units consisting of a floret with a caryopsis together with the reduced awned florets. Enteropogon prieurii can however be distinguished from Chloris virgata by its dorsally compressed (rather than laterally compressed) lower lemma and caryopsis. Recent data suggests that Enteropogon prieurii may in fact be better placed in the genus Chloris Sw. (GRASS PHYLOGENY WORKING GROUP II, 2012).</p> <p>Specimen examined. – MADAGASCAR. Prov.

C. C. Gmel., the rat’s tail fescue, is almost certainly a European native now naturalised worldwide and invasive particularly in Mediterranean ecosystems, especially in the U. S. A. (California and Oregon) and in Australia (HOWARD, 2006). The Paris herbarium (P) holds a single collection of V. myuros and numerous accessions of V. bromoides (L.) Gray from Réunion. No collections of Vulpia C. C. Gmel. have previously been recorded from Madagascar. The lack of collections for the last 50 years may indicate lack of spread although the low collection rates for Poaceae in general make this doubtful.
