+ Division 1: Kato Pafos, Capital Coast Hotel on W coast, N side, cracks in pavement, scattered plants, alt. 5 m, 26.12.2018, R. Hand 9212, conf. U. Amarell (B, herb. Amarell). First record for Cyprus. [...] Apart from the collection site above it was also seen in Geroskipou (Kinira street between village centre and motorway, Dec. 2018) in an identical habitat. The conspicuous grass may be a rather recent escape from cultivation as an ornamental. It is known to occur as an alien in many parts of the world including various Mediterranean countries (see sources above). It is also listed as invasive species by the European Union. Currently, to be classified as “Casual” for Cyprus but it may soon become established.
"Division 1: Pegeia, lower section of new bypass road E 709 W of town, road side, alt. 130 m, 23.12.2019, R. Hand 9342 (CYP). [...] In December 2019, the problematic plant was also seen at Empa (road by high school), at Kissonerga (coastal road) as well as near to Petra tou Romiou (gorge below coastal road). The latter case demonstrates that it is already able to colonise places away from settlements. It was found there in a small gorge in an area with serpentine bedrocks and sparse phrygana vegetation, accompanied by the alien shrub Lantana camara L., another increasingly escaping garden species. C. setaceus is offered in many nurseries, widely planted in Cyprus along roads, in private gardens and public parks" (Hand 2020).
Alien: Naturalized non-invasive.
