Excerpt from English Botany, or Coloured Figures of British Plants, Vol. 11: Gramina In cultivated ground and waste places. Imperfectly naturalised. It used to occur year after year in Battersea Fields. In 1852 and 1853 it came up abundantly on the mud from the Thames laid down on what is now Battersea Park. It has also been reported from near Guildford and Godalming, Surrey. In the British Flora it is stated to have occurred near Thetford, Norfolk, and several localities are given for it in Middlesex in Trimen and Dyer's Flora of that county, viz., near Hampton Court, Appleton, and Barnet, but it would perhaps be better to expunge it from the British lists even as a naturalised plant.
