Résumé

The first naturalized occurrence of Pleioblastus fortunei (Poaceae) in the Arkansas flora is reported here from Columbia County. In 2024, a large, naturalized population of P. fortunei was discovered in highly disturbed riparian habitat adjacent to a large residential area, within the city of Magnolia. Plants were sterile but aggressively establishing via rhizomatous offsets. The precise origin of the naturalized plants is unknown, although establishment from once cultivated plants of the species is suspected, as a residence adjacent to the location of the naturalized plants had a large colony of P. fortunei that had spread throughout much of the property.
