Green Bristle Grass

Setaria viridis is a hardy grass species that thrives in a variety of environments, including cultivated and disturbed areas. It is known by several common names, including green foxtail and wild foxtail millet. Its distribution includes regions such as Madeira, Portugal, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Great Britain, among others. Although Kerguelen proposed a type specimen in 1975, this was not accepted as a formal typification. The species is sometimes classified as a subspecies of Setaria italica. It is a widespread and adaptable grass, often found in urban and agricultural settings.
