From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam

This grass was found by Madge McKee in a vacant lot in Goodland, Newton County. It was well established here. It was found in 1935 by R. C. Friesner at 3711 N. Gladstone Ave. in Indianapolis, where it had taken possession of the lawn. It is probably established in many other places throughout the state where it has been introduced in lawns in grass seed, but it has not been detected because of its close resemblance to Festuca ovina and Poa pratensis. In 1937 I found it along a roadside near a house in Noble County.
