2. Urochloa plantaginea (Link) R. Webster [syn.: Brachiaria plantaginea (Link) Hitchc., Panicum plantagineum Link] (Afr.) – An exceptional and ephemeral grain alien, recorded only once in the port of Gent in 2006 (probably introduced with soybeans from its secondary distribution area in South America). Possibly confused with the very similar but more frequently recorded Urochloa platyphylla.
